**Tell us about your request**
It would be nice to be able to see cluster metrics e.g. node and pod CPU/memory usage in the new EKS dashboard. The official kubernetes dashboard currently integrates with `metrics-server` to achieve this, see: https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/blob/master/docs/user/integrations.md#metric-integrations

Installing metrics-server to get cluster metrics is already recommended in the AWS kubernetes dashboard tutorial https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/dashboard-tutorial.html so it would be great if the eks console dashboard supported this too.

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

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
I am still running the kubernetes dashboard pod in our clusters due to the metrics integration.

Research direction

Start with the Kubernetes Dashboard metric integrations documentation and the AWS EKS dashboard tutorial referenced in the issue, then compare how metrics-server supplies node and pod CPU/memory data. Done means the EKS console dashboard supports metrics-server and displays those cluster metrics, replacing the reported need to run the Kubernetes Dashboard pod.
