Linkerd control plane pods don't come up on EKS

Which VPC CNI version do you have installed?I ask because of:- https://github.com/aws/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s/issues/641- https://github.com/mogren/amazon-vpc-cni-k8s/commit/7b2f7024f19d041396f9c05996b70d057f96da11
And after testing, this was the solution:
Sure enough, downgrading the AWS VPC CNI to v1.5.3 fixed everything in my cluster
Not sure why, but it does.It seems that admission controllers are not working with v1.5.4
So, the solution is to use AWS VPC CNI v1.5.3 until the root cause in AWS VPC CNIN v1.5.4 is determined.
