Tell us about your request

The Snapshot Controller was added as EKS managed add-on via #1838. However it's missing advanced configuration like other addons.

The main problem for us is there's no support for setting tolerations and nodeSelector config. Ideally we can also specify the container's resources.

Which service(s) is this request for? EKS

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? We use separate node pools for running system components. It's currently not possible to schedule the snapshot-controller pods to this pool.

Not being able to specify resources for evey component is also agains best practices.

Are you currently working around this issue? Just deploying as is to a non-tainted node pool.

This would be helpful for us during the initial cluster creation. While Carpenter is not yet installed, CSI Snapshot Controller EKS addon pods are stuck in the pending state and cannot schedule on the tainted controller nodes, resulting in Terraform hangs.

This is base, strange that it's not added initially. It's pretty useless right now, since there nice helm chart https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/piraeus-charts/snapshot-controller that can be used in conjunction with terraform

Hi all, thanks for your patience. I am happy to announce that the latest version of the snapshot-controller addon (version v8.0.0-eksbuild.1) features several new configuration options, including resources, tolerations, and node selector.

We are also looking into adding more parameters in future versions of the addon, please leave suggestions on this issue or by opening a new one.

You can use the DescribeAddonConfiguration API to see the full details of the supported parameters for any specific addon version.
