Description

Current Behavior:
Currently Secret store CSI driver does not support Fargate. This is due to the fact that the Secret store CSI driver is deployed as a daemon set and EKS fargate do not support daemon sets.
refed: https://github.com/aws/secrets-store-csi-driver-provider-aws#requirements

And you will get this error:
_Warning FailedScheduling 101s fargate-scheduler Pod not supported on Fargate: volumes not supported: XXXX is of an unsupported volume Type_
The pod is always pending.

Expected Results:
As EC2 EKS, fargate EKS can also support parameter store feature.

Fix?
Just think out loud: can possible solution be side-car container as fluent-bit logging? or Fargate infra has a type I can allocate my resource which has this Secret store CSI driver running?

Research direction

Start with the Secret Store CSI Driver requirements linked in the issue and the reported Fargate scheduler error. Compare how parameter store support works on EC2-based EKS, then investigate whether Fargate offers a supported deployment model that can replace the daemon set. Done means parameter store is supported on Fargate EKS without the pod remaining pending.
