EKS Auto Mode - Failed to create when node_pools is not set, node_role_arn is set

[erezzarum]

Description

• ✋ I have searched the open/closed issues and my issue is not listed.

Using EKS Auto Mode without providing nodepools fails.

⚠️ Note

Before you submit an issue, please perform the following first:

1. Remove the local .terraform directory (! ONLY if state is stored remotely, which hopefully you are following that best practice!): rm -rf .terraform/
2. Re-initialize the project root to pull down modules: terraform init
3. Re-attempt your terraform plan or apply and check if the issue still persists

Versions

• Module version [Required]: 20.31.1

• Terraform version: 1.73

• Provider version(s): 5.80.0

Reproduction Code [Required]

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

module "eks" {
...
...
  cluster_compute_config = {
    enabled = true
  }
...
...
}

Expected behavior

Enable EKS Auto Mode without any pre-defined nodepools but create the node role.

Actual behavior

Fail to create cluster, as nodepools can not be empty if node role is provided, which is provided by default regardless if nodepools is set or no.

Terminal Output Screenshot(s)
