Unable to create node object manually in EKS

Question

I'm trying to setup kubedge with cloudcore in EKS (k8s version 1.21.12) and edgecore in an external server. As part of the kubeedge setup, I had to create a node object manually in cloudside which will be labelled as edge node. But when I do the kubectl apply -f node.json, I'm getting the following response:

C:\Users\akhi1\manifest>kubectl apply -f node.json
node/edge-node-01 created

C:\Users\akhi1\manifest>kubectl get nodes
NAME                                               STATUS   ROLES    AGE     VERSION
ip-xx-xx-xxx-213.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal   Ready    <none>   3h48m   v1.21.12-eks-xxxx   << this node was already in my eks cluster

As you can see, I'm not able see the newly created node 'edge-node-01' in the list. On checking the kube events, I got the following:

C:\Users\akhi1\manifests>kubectl get events
LAST SEEN   TYPE     REASON         OBJECT               MESSAGE
13m         Normal   DeletingNode   node/edge-node-01    Deleting node edge-node-01 because it does not exist in the cloud provider

For manually node registration, I followed this doc: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/nodes/#manual-node-administration

My node.json would look like this:

{
  "kind": "Node",
  "apiVersion": "v1",
  "metadata": {
    "name": "edge-node-01",
    "labels": {
      "name": "my-first-k8s-edge-node"
    }
  }
}

I have also checked, node restriction and admission controller but couldn't find anything related to it.

Please let me know why, eks is blocking me to create a node object that doesn't have an underlying ec2 attached.

Thanks in advance, Akhil
