Is your request related to a problem? Please describe.

I think it would be interesting to have a template for karpenter as well. I'm currently updating to version 20.8 of the EKS module and I wanted to use my karpenter with pod-identity, because my kube-system run in EC2 Nodes. So, I need to make the association and iwould be interesting use this module.

Describe the solution you'd like.

The idea would just be to create a template with the necessary policy to make the association for karpenter.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I see two alternatives:

1. Create an implementation for karpenter here: Make the implementation based on the examples here
2. Modify the karpenter sub-module within eks: Implement pod-identity within the sub-module terraform-aws-eks/modules/karpenter

If you prefer, I can implement on both repos 😄!

Could you verify this issue? Because if you point me in the right direction I can create it either here or in the eks submodule :D

[bryantbiggs]

right now the recommendation for aws_eks_pod_identity_association with Karpenter is to use the direct resource as needed

[bryantbiggs]

the Karpenter sub-module supports creating the association now so closing out this issue terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks#3031
