**Tell us about your request**
What do you want us to build?
I would like to add custom node labels to eks fargate nodes
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
This could be Fargate, EKS,

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

In our scenario, we have some pods that are scheduled with specific node selector policy. We are using mutating webhooks to apply this nodeselector annotations in our pods. AFAIK, there is no option to add custom node labels to eks fargate nodes.
These are the default labels :+1:
```
beta.kubernetes.io/arch=amd64,beta.kubernetes.io/os=linux,eks.amazonaws.com/compute-type=fargate,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=eu-central-1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=eu-central-1a,kubernetes.io/arch=amd64,kubernetes.io/hostname=ip-10-253-45-6.eu-central-1.compute.internal,kubernetes.io/os=linux,topology.kubernetes.io/region=eu-central-1,topology.kubernetes.io/zone=eu-central-1a
```
and I would like to add my custom ones, to allow mutation webhooks work in our scenario.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**

It is something that we can't control.
