**Tell us about your request**
Currently, EKS Auto mode has a default limit on the number of pods running per node. I would like to increase this limit to 110 pods per node.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
EKS Automode
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Each node has a default number of pods it can handle, depending on the node type, but I want to configure it to run 110 pods.
I ran the following
kubectl set env daemonset aws-node -n kube-system ENABLE_PREFIX_DELEGATION=true
kubectl describe daemonsets.apps -n kube-system aws-node | grep ENABLE_PREFIX_DELEGATION ENABLE_PREFIX_DELEGATION: true
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
I cannot currently work around this issue.

Research direction
Start with the EKS Auto mode pod-per-node limit and the kubectl commands for the aws-node DaemonSet shown in the issue. Determine whether a supported configuration entry point exists for setting the limit to 110 pods per node; done means the setting is supported and its behavior is validated.
