**Tell us about your request**
The EFS-CSI addon supports specifying resource-requests and limits. However these apply to all three containers in the controller-pod - "efs-plugin", "csi-provisioner", and "liveness-probe". The default request is 200m CPU, which gets multiple by three which means the default behavior is for each controller-pod to request 60% of a core.
This service runs replicated by default, so the out-of-the-box resource-request for the controller is 1.2 cores. This seems pretty large?
I expect that the different containers within the pod have different resource-use characteristics and don't all need to be requesting 1/5th of a core each.
The up-stream helm-chart allows making specific resource-requests per container.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**

Research direction
Start by reading the upstream Helm chart mentioned in the issue and compare its per-container resource-request settings with the EFS-CSI addon behavior. Done means the addon lets users tune requests separately for the efs-plugin, csi-provisioner, and liveness-probe containers rather than applying one value to all three.
