[EKS] [request]: Is there a way to automate AWS addons update from manual update to automatic ?

Is there a way to automate AWS addons update from manual update to automatic ?

Today we have been updating these add-ons during each Cluster Upgrade manually. We want AWS to do the automatic updates of these add-ons without human intervention.

We want to see if AWS can automatically update these on EKS clusters, just as you would update EKS control plane from 1.26.x to 1.26.y today ?

Also we see Addons images are having high Vulnerability we are patching these images every now and then manually from our end . It would be helpful if AWS can bring in some mechanism to patch these images monthly and keep them vulnerability free and automatically update the latest patched images to Addons

If this is possible it would significantly benefit us.

Start with the EKS add-ons and cluster-upgrade behavior described in the issue, then verify whether AWS supports automatic add-on upgrades and monthly image patching. Done means the request is answered with a documented mechanism or a clear statement of current limitations and scope.
