Pods are stuck in ContainerCreating status after upgrading to Kubernetes version 1.30 on EKS. We have 'Security Groups for Pods' feature turned on, and when we're trying to upgrade from:

ami_id             = "ami-066d744867bb80fce"
vpc_cni_version    = "v1.16.2-eksbuild.1"
kubernetes_version = "1.29"

to

ami_id             = "ami-05e7e986227a095a9"
vpc_cni_version    = "v1.18.2-eksbuild.1"
kubernetes_version = "1.30"

we're getting failing pods:

  Warning  FailedCreatePodSandBox  19m                 kubelet            Failed to create pod sandbox: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to setup network for sandbox "cffd4f13c293011d5f6e967bd5859c234ab1f83731fbf1e40c46330e6276fdd7": plugin type="aws-cni" name="aws-cni" failed (add): add cmd: failed to assign an IP address to container

There is no issue when 'Security Groups for Pods' feature is turned off How to reproduce: https://github.com/Gier32o/k8s-upgrade-problem
