Description

I have created an EKS cluster and nodegroup using a cloudformation template that I have created, but in the creation process there was an error:
Nodegroup ng-eks-A failed to stabilize: [{Code: AccessDenied,Message: The aws-auth ConfigMap in your cluster is invalid }]

After that, I tried to delete the nodegroup but it was unsuccessful, I have applied a configmap to authorize my user and it applied correctly (apparently) but still I am not able to delete it. What can I do to delete the nodegroup and the cluster?

Research direction

Start with the reported CloudFormation EKS nodegroup creation error and inspect the cluster's aws-auth ConfigMap and nodegroup deletion state. Determine the supported recovery path for the stuck nodegroup and cluster, then document the verified steps and expected outcome.
