**Tell us about your request**
What do you want us to build?
The EKS EBS CSI Addon will have a csi-resizer sidecar. For those not utilizing or having any requirement for dynamic resizing of ebs volumes, a request is being made to add configuration to disable the csi-resizer sidecar as was done for the csi-snapshotter sidecar [here](https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/1919).
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
This could be 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.
The requirement is to have a option to disable the csi-resizer sidecar while installing EBS CSI Addon. The csi-resizer sidecar does consume CPU and RAM. Though a small amount of CPU and RAM is being consumed, this sidecar doesn't need to be enabled if not being used. It would reduce some resource overhead.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked csi-snapshotter issue (1919) and the EBS CSI Add-on request to understand the existing configuration pattern. Investigate how the EBS CSI Add-on is installed and how its sidecars are configured; done means an option can omit csi-resizer while preserving resizing for users who need it and removing its resource overhead.
