[EKS]: Make eks-node-monitoring-agent available as a Helm Chart

[sherifabdlnaby]

Currently, eks-node-monitoring-agent is only installable as an EKS Addon. However, a lot of companies do rely on managing cluster addons and components using GitOps (e.g ArgoCD, etc) and for consistency usually prefer to manage everything using the same method (even if it's available as an EKS Addon).

We are researching and will likely do this. In the meantime, have you explored ACK controller as way to manage the EKS addon in GitOps friendly way?

Thanks for the reference. ACK is always option; It is kinda GitOps yup, but in my case we do however prefer managing the k8s manifests as GitOps, we do the same for all EKS Addons (as well as all other cluster addons)... this consistency makes it easier monitor and maintain our cluster resources in the same way. It's all subjective ofc...
