Let EKS anywhere make use of fargate compute in your aws acount/accounts

What would you like to be added: I would like the ability to still make use of fargate compute inside my aws account while using EKS anywhere

Why is this needed: It would provide a good option for hybrid cloud solutions allowing me to use my on-prem nodes for either tasks that have to be done on-prem or leverage specific existing hardware but also take advantage of the saleability of aws fargate nodes for anything that doesn't need to be on-prem.

There is this support, but I haven't tried it https://anywhere.eks.amazonaws.com/docs/reference/clusterspec/optional/iamauth/

Sorry I might not of been clear, in regular EKS you can use fagate like a node, run your pods on it and manage that using the regular EKS control pane.

It looks like that link you've provided would let me use IAM to authorise a workload to interact with the fargate api in my account (which to be fair I hadn't seen but is really usefull) but not have that fargate instance (and pod's deployed to it) managed directly by EKS
