Can't create Node IAM role if auto mode is disabled

[Israphel]

Description

I want the module to create the IAM role for the nodes so karpenter can use it, but I don't need auto mode or any kind of nodepools. However, this module doesn't create the iam role for the nodes unless auto mode is enabled.

• ✋ I have searched the open/closed issues and my issue is not listed.

Versions

• Module version [Required]: 20.34.0

• Terraform version: 1.4.6

• Provider version(s): 5.91.0

Reproduction Code [Required]

create_node_iam_role	      = true
node_iam_role_name            = "eks-${each.key}-node-role"
node_iam_role_use_name_prefix = false
node_iam_role_description     = "Instance profile for EKS instances"

Expected behavior

IAM role for nodes should be created.

Actual behavior

IAM role for nodes is not created.

The auto mode role should only be used on auto mode, not on Karpenter. the Karpenter sub-module has the ability to create a role for Karpenter

ok, the problem with that submodule is that it also creates the sqs queue no matter what, I just want the node role

I don't see var.create_sqs_queue

is the sqs creation disabled with a different variable?
