What type of PR is this?

/kind cleanup

What is this PR about? / Why do we need it?

Supersedes #2862 and migrates most of its changes:

  • Force disables auto mode always
  • Removes no longer necessary extra policy
  • Ensure SSM is enabled on all nodes to allow debugging
  • (NEW in this PR): Change default eksctl setup to pod identities which should hopefully speed up cluster creation
    • IRSA is left in under the env variable USE_IRSA for situations where Pod Identities cannot be used

How was this change tested?

E2E tests + CI

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?

NONE
