Aws-cdk: [aws-eks] EKS --use-max-pods=false not working

[tomkivlin]

I am using a CF template to manage EKS Node Groups. When I pass --use-max-pods=false into the BootstrapArguments parameter, it appears to be ignored by the bootstrap.sh script, or some other component as there is still a limit being applied to each node.

Reproduction Steps

Pass --use-max-pods=false into the BootstrapArguments parameter of a CF template.

Error Log

No error. The nodes still have a pods entry in the allocatable section of their configuration when I interrogate with kubectl get nodes -o yaml.

Environment

• CLI Version : 1.16.188
• Framework Version: not sure - which framework?
• OS : MacOS
• Language : of what?

Other

Looks to be a duplicate of #4752 which should have been fixed in #4753?

Other potentially useful information:

• I am attempting this in eu-west-3 (Paris)
• I am attempting this using t3.micro instances (my current workaround is to use t3.small to provide a larger allocatable value)

Hi @tomkivlin, you are right this is a duplicate and the issue was fixed and merged yesterday. There hasn't been a new release yet with those changes so that's why you're still experiencing this issue unfortunately. The new release should be out in a few days.
I will close this issue. Feel free to reopen if once you get the new release you still encounter some problems.

Ah gotcha - thanks @SomayaB, sorry for the impatience!
