+<!-- https://spectrocloud.atlassian.net/browse/PCP-5934 -->

+- Palette now improves how `volumes` and `volumeMounts` defined in `ClusterPodPreset` or `PodPreset` resources on a
+  [self-hosted PCG cluster](../clusters/pcg/deploy-pcg-k8s.md) deployed in Amazon EKS are reconciled with pod-mounted
+  files defined under `kubeadmconfig` in the OS layer of an AWS EKS cluster profile used to deploy workload clusters.
+
+  Volumes and mounts derived from the OS layer are only added if their resolved `volumes.hostPath.path` or
+  `volumeMounts.mountPath` do not already exist in the self-hosted PCG cluster configuration, preventing duplicate
+  mounts when the same paths are specified in both locations. Volume and mount names are generated using a hash of the
+  full path to ensure path-unique naming and avoid Kubernetes validation conflicts.
