Research direction

Start with the reported AWS::EKS::Addon resources in the CloudFormation template and compare the failing stack operation with the AWS CLI or console workaround. Verify the EKS 1.18 cluster and addon versions against the supported combinations; done means both addons can be created through CloudFormation without the reported error.
