+## [v16.1.0] - 2021-05-19
+FEATURES:
+- Search for Windows or Linux AMIs only if they are needed ([#1371](https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/issues/1371))
+
+BUG FIXES:
+- Set an ASG's launch template version to an explicit version to automatically trigger instance refresh ([#1370](https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/issues/1370))
+- Add description for private API ingress Security Group Rule ([#1299](https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/issues/1299))
+
+DOCS:
+- Fix cluster autoscaler tags in IRSA example ([#1204](https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/issues/1204))
+- Add Bottlerocket example ([#1296](https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/issues/1296))
+
+NOTES:
+- Set an ASG's launch template version to an explicit version automatically. This will ensure that an instance refresh will be triggered whenever the launch template changes. The default `launch_template_version` is now used to determine the latest or default version of the created launch template for self-managed worker groups.
