**Tell us about your request**
Currently the information returned to EKS is insufficient to act upon.

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

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**

The message below is from cloudformation but is the same for EKS.
```
ResourceStatusReason": "Update failed due to [{ErrorCode: PodEvictionFailure,ErrorMessage: Reached max retries while trying to evict pods from nodes in node group prod-nodegroup,ResourceIds: [ip-10-233-150-169.eu-west-1.compute.internal]}]",
```
It would be handy to know on which pod it's failing.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the EKS nodegroup upgrade failure described in the issue and how the CloudFormation ResourceStatusReason is surfaced. Confirm whether the failure identifies only the node or can identify the pod involved; done would mean actionable failure information that names the blocking pod when eviction retries are exhausted.
