Tell us about your request Currently, Branch ENI creation in VPC RC is handled by a dedicated worker. The speed of branch ENI creation is determined by the number of workers, but it is currently impossible to change the number of workers. Worker Count : https://github.com/aws/amazon-vpc-resource-controller-k8s/blob/master/pkg/config/loader.go#L138

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? When many pods are created at once, the pods are not created quickly due to the delay in branch ENI creation. I want to create branch ENI and pods more quickly by adjusting the number of Workers.

We need to be able to add lots of Pods quickly. All our pods use Security Group for Pods. Is this feature going to be implemented soon? At the moment, some pods are pending IP assignment for several minutes, which is crazy.
