Tell us about your request
#2195 has added tolerations for many worload (e.g. dcgm-exporter) but:

• Not applied on all ones (e.g. controller-manager)
• Applied widely where it shouldn't make sense (e.g. fluentbit)

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?
In my context, any workload should be assigned a "node pool" (EKS node group or Karpenter-managed), while I still want to monitor all nodes.

Are you currently working around this issue?
I manually patched controller-manager deployment:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  namespace: amazon-cloudwatch
  name: amazon-cloudwatch-observability-controller-manager
spec:
  template:
      tolerations:
      - effect: NoSchedule
        key: dedicated
        operator: Equal
        value: monitoring
