**Tell us about your request**
What do you want us to build?
Create an EKS addon for https://github.com/aws/aws-node-termination-handler

**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 Node Termination Handler is being installed manually on the EKS clusters. As of June 25th, 2021 the only add ones are VPC CNI, CoreDNS, and Kube-proxy.

It'd be great if we didn't have to manually install the node termination handler.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Yes we are manually installing the add on.

**Additional context**

Research direction

Start by reviewing the upstream aws-node-termination-handler project linked in the request and comparing it with the existing EKS add-ons named here: VPC CNI, CoreDNS, and kube-proxy. Define what EKS add-on support would require and consider the manual-install workaround resolved only when the handler is available through EKS add-ons.
