**Tell us about your request**
We want to have the possibility to configure http_proxy and no_proxy values as env variables for the vpc cni managed addon.
Currently, we are using unmanaged addon and adding the following: (as mentioned here https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/eks-http-proxy-configuration-automation)

envFrom:
- configMapRef:
name: configmap-proxy-env

EKS now recommends migrating to managed addons so we would like to migrate frrom our custom unmanaged DS.

**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?**
What outcome are you trying to achieve, ultimately, and why is it hard/impossible to do right now? What is the impact of not having this problem solved? The more details you can provide, the better we'll be able to understand and solve the problem.

Our company has a strict network connectivity pattern where we need to expose proxy env variables to the aws-node DS.

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

We are using unmanaged vpc cni addon and specifying the proxy env.

**Additional context**
Anything else we should know?

I can see that there was a similar request for the ebs csi driver that was implemented
https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/1850

**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

Start by reviewing the EKS VPC-CNI managed addon and the current unmanaged DaemonSet workaround using envFrom and configmap-proxy-env. Compare the requested behavior with the related EBS CSI driver issue 1850; the work is done when managed addons support configuring http_proxy and no_proxy for the aws-node DaemonSet.
