Hey everyone! I've been having a tough time with my EKS setup. I created the cluster without any issues, but now my Node Group is stuck in the "creating" state and the EC2 instances aren't able to join. I've checked and confirmed that the IAM role has the correct policies: AmazonEKS_CNI_Policy, AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly, and AmazonEKSWorkerNodePolicy.
I've also set up the add-ons: Amazon VPC CNI, CoreDNS, and kube-proxy in the same VPC as my cluster. I'm following a tutorial and following all the steps, but something is clearly off. I deleted and recreated everything and I'm still facing this problem. I heard ChatGPT suggest that a ConfigMap might be missing, but that wasn't mentioned in the tutorial. Anyone have any insight or advice?

Check if your instance role has the necessary permissions within your cluster. Also, make sure your security groups allow the nodes to communicate with the cluster API. If you haven't done this yet, dive into the logs on the nodes for any errors that could reveal what's going wrong.
Yeah, I checked the permissions and it seems like the issue is with the aws-auth. Thanks for the tip!
