Tell us about your request
Add a default Name tag to EKS-created EC2 instances, with some reference to EKS cluster responsible for creation, such as including the EKS cluster name.

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?
Including a default Name tag for EC2 instances created by an EKS cluster will make the EC2 instance list easier to interpret and more useful when several EC2 instances are present from different EKS clusters, making instances' clusters immediately identifiable.

Are you currently working around this issue?
Currently, this can be achieved by manually modifying the Launch Template created automatically by EKS.
