**Tell us about your request**
What do you want us to build?
We would like to be able to use Security Group names when leveraging SG for Pods functionality.

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
EKS (VPC Resource Controller)

**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.

According to "Amazon VPC Quotas," it should be able to use up to 16. One CRD must support at least 10 security groups
If I need more than 5 security groups, it's hard to manage
because I need more than one crd. I don't know why one crd doesn't support more than 10 security groups

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

Research direction

Start by reviewing the EKS VPC Resource Controller context and the related pull request #413. Compare the current CRD security-group limit with Amazon VPC Quotas and clarify whether the requirement is more than 5 or at least 10 groups. Done means the agreed number of security groups can be managed through one CRD without the reported workaround.
