What is the problem?

When attempting to add tags to an already-deployed EKS cluster, tags never get added to resource. There is no issue when adding tags in the initial resource creation, so this can be worked around by either destroying and redeploying the stack, or by adding tags using the AWS SDKs.

This is likely related to the fix for the previously reported issue.

Reproduction Steps

1. Deploy below resource

const cluster = new eks.Cluster(this, 'eks3', {
    defaultCapacity: 0,
    version: eks.KubernetesVersion.V1_21,
    vpc,
    //tags: {
    //    "test": "123"
    //}
});

2. Remove comment of tags then redeploy

What did you expect to happen?

Tags that were not created for first deployment should have been created in the update.

What actually happened?

No tags were added to Cluster resource.

Other information

Best current workaround is to add tags via the SDK tagResource() property, but this does not exist within the CDK, so is unideal.
