EKS Auto Mode - add access entry for auto mode node role

[erezzarum]

Description

• ✋ I have searched the open/closed issues and my issue is not listed.

When using built-in nodepools, EKS will automatically create appropriate access entry for the Node role.
When not using any built-in nodepools, one will not be created and the NodeClass will fail, as Node role is not authorized to join nodes to the cluster.

⚠️ Note

Before you submit an issue, please perform the following first:

1. Remove the local .terraform directory (! ONLY if state is stored remotely, which hopefully you are following that best practice!): rm -rf .terraform/
2. Re-initialize the project root to pull down modules: terraform init
3. Re-attempt your terraform plan or apply and check if the issue still persists

Versions

• Module version [Required]: 20.31.3

• Terraform version: 1.7.3

• Provider version(s): 5.81

Reproduction Code [Required]

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create an EKS Auto Mode cluster without using any built-in nodepools.

Expected behavior

EKS module will create the correct access entries.

Example with CLI

aws eks create-access-entry --cluster-name <CLUSTER NAME> --principal-arn <NODE ROLE ARN> --type EC2
aws eks associate-access-policy --cluster-name <CLUSTER NAME> --principal-arn <NODE ROLE ARN> --access-scope type=cluster --policy-arn arn:aws:eks::aws:cluster-access-policy/AmazonEKSAutoNodePolicy

Actual behavior

Create access entries for node role.
