Please support the new EKS Pod Identities on EKS Fargate.

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

Fargate, EKS

We want to replace IAM roles for service accounts (IRSA) and utilize the role session tags introduced by EKS Pod Identity, such as cluster name, namespace, service account name to simplify auditing.

We are using IRSA.
