**Tell us about your request**
It would be great if we could pass tags to the underlying ASGs (and tell the ASGs to propagate tags) that are created from the managed node groups for EKS so that the underlying instances/volumes are tagged appropriately.

**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?**
Currently, managed node groups for EKS do not support propagating tags to ASGs (and therefore the instances) created by the node group. This leads to EC2 instances that are not tagged according to our requirements for tracking cost, and resource ownership.

Research direction

The issue describes EKS managed node groups, their underlying Auto Scaling Groups, and tag propagation, but it names no repository files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by determining whether this roadmap repository contains an actionable implementation path; done would mean supporting ASG and instance tag propagation for managed node groups.
