I’m trying to install a fresh Prometheus Chart into my AWS EKS cluster using the community helm-chart [repo](https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/prometheus).

However, `alertmanager` and `prometheus-server` pods fail to start. They both show an event warning:

> Warning FailedScheduling 10m (x25 over 4h13m) default-scheduler running PreBind plugin “VolumeBinding”: binding volumes: timed out waiting for the condition

Our EKS cluster is using EKS managed EC2 nodes, if that’s relevant. Anyone run into this before trying to set up Prometheus on AWS? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
