Update SSO/Identity Center guidance for EKS access management #619

Description

@svennam92

We should provide guidance on EKS access management using AWS IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO). This blog post (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/a-quick-path-to-amazon-eks-single-sign-on-using-aws-sso/) is outdated and has limitations that aren't mentioned, particularly around the IAM role ARN generated by Identity Center having a random suffix which makes it impractical to use.

  • Create a new section covering options for EKS access management
  • Include comparison of different approaches with their trade-offs:
    • IAM Identity Center + EKS CAM APIs
    • Direct IAM Users/Roles Mapped to EKS RBAC
    • OpenID Connect (OIDC) Providers
    • IRSA/Pod Identity/etc
  • Document known limitations and considerations for each method
