Does EKS perform any updates without initiation from administrator?

Question

Premise:
- Updates of kubernetes version or of the node group AMI drain nodes and and gracefully terminate any pods running on the nodes. 
- We want to make sure that this happens only at times that we choose.

Question: Must any updates that are performed be initiated by me (or by some other principal such as terraform)?

Amazon EKS does NOT initiate the update(Nodes) without your consent. In other words,  you have the right to initiate the update. 
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/update-managed-node-group.html

PS. Amazon EKS will automatically upgrade existing control planes (not nodes) to the oldest supported version through a gradual deployment process after the end of support date. After the automatic control plane update, you must manually update cluster add-ons and Amazon EC2 nodes. Amazon EKS does not allow control planes to stay on a version that has reached end of support.
