**Tell us about your request**
We would like to be able to use Security Group names when leveraging SG for Pods functionality.
**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?**
At present we rebuild our AWS infrastructure on a nightly basis, we use Terraform Modules that provision RDS instances and Security Groups for granting access. At present each night when environments are rebuilt, the Security Group ID changes, we then need to update our deployment manifests for our workloads within EKS. If we could use the SecurityGroup names, we would be able to leave the workload manifests as is after rebuilding our AWS infrastructure.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
We have a complex pipeline that updates our manifests and checks them into Git (as we are using GitOps)
**Additional context**
Anything else we should know?
**Attachments**

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the EKS Security Groups for Pods documentation and the Terraform modules and workload deployment manifests described in the issue. Determine the current supported input and the expected behavior when infrastructure is rebuilt; the work is complete when workloads can refer to security groups by name without manifest updates.
