Allow r5.8xlarge and r5.12xlarge EC2 instances to be launched in Managed Node group. Right now it is not possible to select them from console

EKS

I need to deploy r5.8xlarge and r5.12xlarge as it was required by 3rd party vendor.

Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how this roadmap tracks EKS Managed Node Group requests and whether support for r5.8xlarge and r5.12xlarge has moved elsewhere. Done would require maintainer-confirmed support or a documented status for selecting these EC2 instance types.
