[Feature] Enhance the user experience for creating an EKS cluster intended for stateful workloads. about eksctl

[TiberiuGC]

Additionally, providing instructions in the documentation for installing add-ons using commands like:

eksctl create addon --name aws-ebs-csi-driver --cluster <cluster-name>
could be helpful.

Hi @cshiv - general information on how to manipulate EKS add-ons using eksctl can be found here.

It's worth noting that aws-ebs-csi-driver is not a default add-on to the EKS cluster. The reason for not including it as a default add-on is not specified.

Only universally required add-ons are default on EKS clusters (kube-proxy, VPC CNI, CoreDNS). While AWS EBS is a popular storage option for stateful workloads, other solutions exist. The choice belongs to the user.

The documentation currently lacks information on EBS CSI drivers, and users often discover the issue only after encountering it, especially new users.

eksctl docs do not go in-depth on how each EKS add-on works or what functionality it provides. Admittedly, the eksctl docs can refer to official AWS docs on that matter. Otherwise, what other explicit steps do you consider we should take in order to improve UX?
