	// IRSA allows you to associate an IAM role with a Kubernetes service account.
	// This provides a way to grant permissions to Kubernetes pods by associating an IAM role with a Kubernetes service account.
	// The IAM role can then be used to provide AWS credentials to the pods, allowing them to access other AWS resources.
	//
	// When enabled, the openIdConnectProvider of the cluster would be created when you create the ServiceAccount.

	// EKS Pod Identities provide the ability to manage credentials for your applications, similar to the way that Amazon EC2 instance profiles
	// provide credentials to Amazon EC2 instances. Instead of creating and distributing your AWS credentials to the containers or using the
	// Amazon EC2 instance's role, you associate an IAM role with a Kubernetes service account and configure your Pods to use the service account.

	// When enabled, the Pod Identity Agent AddOn of the cluster would be created when you create the ServiceAccount.
