Tell us about your request

Please add taints to the CreateNodegroup API. It already supports labeling nodes with the labels parameter and it seems that the EKS bootstrap script already supports setting taints (as documented here).

Which service(s) is this request for?

EKS

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?

I want to taint certain node groups so that only specific workloads are scheduled onto them.
