**Tell us about your request**
Xray is currently not supported for EKS fargate as fargate does not support Daemonset.

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
EKS Fargate

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
As we know that daemonsets aren't supported on Fargate. If your application requires a daemon, you will need to reconfigure that daemon to run as a sidecar container in your pods.

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

**Additional context**
I was unable to find EKS Fargate X-Ray integration documentation that doesn't require a Daemonset.

**Attachments**
If you think you might have additional information that you'd like to include via an attachment, please do - we'll take a look. (Remember to remove any personally-identifiable information.)

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are named. Start by researching the current EKS Fargate and X-Ray integration constraints, especially the lack of DaemonSet support and the proposed sidecar workaround. Done would require a defined, validated way to support X-Ray on EKS Fargate and documentation that does not depend on a DaemonSet.
