What is the current behavior?

Today AWS announced Managed Node Groups for EKS. This module should strive to support that as quickly as possible. The relevant PR has been merged within the latest release of the AWS provider.

If this is a bug, how to reproduce? Please include a code sample if relevant.

What's the expected behavior?

Supporting managed node groups.

Are you able to fix this problem and submit a PR? Link here if you have already.

Unsure if I'll have time this week to do this, but can get to it next week.

The terraform aws provider supports it: https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/releases/tag/v2.38.0
Pretty nice that AWS takes the terraform aws provider seriously and rolls out the feature on the same day the SDK starts supporting it.

I am sorry to put it harshly, but approximately when can we use the module for Managed Node Groups?
We are in a sort of dilemma to either continue using this awesome module or create our own for our new EKS cluster.

I think the usefulness of the managed node groups is neutered a bit until we can set kubelet flags.

Nice @wmorgan6796! Perhaps @vishnuhd can test this PR?

[eytanhanig]

Given that we already have variables like worker_groups, worker_groups_launch_template, etc, do we want to use something along the lines of node_groups instead of the more complicated worker_group_managed_node_groups?
