[EKS] EKS add-ons support for Amazon EBS CSI Driver

[leakingtapan]

EBS CSI driver installed on EKS clusters by default.

How is this going to work for customers that have installed the CSI driver manually?

Also, is it going to manage updates automatically?

[tabern]

This will be solved by a feature release following #252

Changing the title, as we will not be auto installing EBS CSI driver as part of cluster creation. Rather, we will add EBS CSI driver to EKS add-ons, so you can declare to have it installed as part of cluster creation through the add-ons system.

An external CSI snapshotter with corresponding CRD, ValidatingWebhook etc. still has to be installed by customers or it is includes as well?

[SamuelBagattin]

It would be really useful. Currently there is, in my opinion, no clean way to deploy the CSI snapshotter with the corresponding CRDs. The only way for now is to apply the required manifests. There is not even an official helm chart to handle resources and CDRs creation.

@SamuelBagattin you shouldn't use Helm to install CRDs (more details).

The EBS CSI Driver is now available in EKS add-ons in preview while we work on the following enhancements:

1. Dynamic snapshotting and resizing of EBS volumes via the Kubernetes API
2. Automatically setting the k8s-tag-cluster-id parameter to maintain backwards compatibility with the in-tree EBS driver
3. Windows support
4. Managed IAM policy to help you create IRSA roles for the add-on to use
