📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes introduce support for the pod_identity_association block in EKS addon configuration. This is achieved by updating the Terraform module to allow specifying a map of service accounts and IAM role ARNs per addon, and by modifying the variable definitions to accept this new configuration option.

Changes

Files Change Summary
main.tf Added a dynamic pod_identity_association block to the aws_eks_addon resource, iterating over a new map input.
variables.tf Added an optional pod_identity_association attribute (type map(string)) to the addons variable definition.

175-180: Add an explanatory comment for the new attribute

pod_identity_association is a brand-new field and its purpose is not obvious from the surrounding context. A one-line comment (in the same style as the neighbouring attributes) will make the intent clear for future maintainers and keep the object definition self-documenting.

-    pod_identity_association    = optional(map(string), {})
+    # Map of <service_account> => <role_arn> pairs used to create
+    # `pod_identity_association` blocks inside `aws_eks_addon`
+    pod_identity_association    = optional(map(string), {})
main.tf (1)

181-184: Optional: expose namespace when addons are not in kube-system

The nested block allows only service_account and role_arn, which works for addons living in kube-system.
Some AWS-managed addons (or future custom ones) run in other namespaces. Consider extending the variable to accept an object { namespace = "foo", role_arn = "…" } for maximum flexibility.

@oycyc, thanks for reviewing my PR.

I've bumped the Kubernetes version and Kubernetes Go packages in tests to fix this error:

InvalidParameterException: The requested Kubernetes version "1.29" is only supported under extended support. Please change the supportType to extended support to create the cluster.

I'm unsure if it works, so I would appreciate any help.
