**Tell us about your request**
What do you want us to build?

Support SYS_PTRACE for EKS Fargate ( already supported on ECS )

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
Fargate on EKS

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Debugability and introspection of running workloads. May also allow for an alternative method for capturing process stdout to allow [sidecar logging with EKS Fargate](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/how-to-capture-application-logs-when-using-amazon-eks-on-aws-fargate/) in a more transparent method through stdout redirection.

See https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/409 for the same request on ECS.
