**Tell us about your request**
I'd like to be able to use EKS Auto components on their own, specifically in this case the compute management via a managed _Karpenter_ instance (see #1792). Ideally some of the constraints for individual components could be lifted when not running in full "auto" mode.
**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?**
I want to be able to manage compute via Karpenter without needing to manually run compute as is required today (no I don't want to use Fargate).
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Running compute via ASGs.

Research direction
No repository files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reviewing the EKS Auto components context and linked issue #1792; done would mean enabling compute management through a managed Karpenter instance without requiring manually run compute or Fargate.
