Tell us about your request
Add the ability to force rollback EKS add-ons from the AWS console without the need to interact with the application directly in the cluster.

Which service(s) is this request for?
EKS Add-on

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
In a previous incident, a syntax error in the CoreDNS Corefile config caused the CoreDNS add-on to be stuck in the "Updating" status. The new pods were stuck in a crash loop backoff, making it impossible to roll back the change.
We had to manually edit the ConfigMap within the cluster to bring the CoreDNS deployment back up. This manual intervention is not ideal. The lack of a rollback option in the AWS console makes it difficult to recover from such issues quickly and efficiently.

This goes for other EKS Add-ons as well.

Are you currently working around this issue?
Currently, the workaround involves manually editing the ConfigMap within the cluster to correct the CoreDNS configuration and bring the deployment back up. This is time-consuming and requires direct interaction with the cluster, which is not always feasible.

Additional context
Implementing this feature would improve the resilience and manageability of EKS clusters by allowing administrators to quickly recover from configuration errors without needing to access the cluster directly.
