    error: aws:eks/accessEntry:AccessEntry resource 'example-cluster-defaultNodeGroupInstanceRole' has a problem: Value for unconfigurable attribute.

Hey, I'm very sorry you're running into this!

I just tried reproducing this error on my end with the example you provided, but it's deploying fine.

These are the versions I'm using:

CLI
Version      3.136.1
Go Version   go1.23.2
Go Compiler  gc

Plugins
KIND      NAME        VERSION
resource  aws         6.58.0
resource  awsx        2.17.0
resource  docker      4.5.7
resource  docker      3.6.1
resource  eks         3.0.1
resource  kubernetes  4.18.3
language  nodejs      3.136.1-dev.0

Dependencies:
NAME            VERSION
@pulumi/awsx    2.17.0
@pulumi/eks     3.0.1
@pulumi/pulumi  3.138.0
@types/node     18.19.64
typescript      5.6.3

I see that you're using an older version of pulumi. Could you try updating both the pulumi CLI as well as your @pulumi/pulumi node dependency?

Thank you @flostadler - that's helpful to know this is not universal. It seems like this class of errors tends to come from version mismatches, so you're probably correct.

I'll see if we can upgrade, but it may take a few days since there's a large remote state, so I want to make sure we can safely upgrade across the board.

Sounds good, let me know how it goes!
