When will GPU operator support Amazon AL2 or AL2023 instances in managed node group in EKS?

[visla-xugeng]

Hi,

I am using managed node groups in the EKS cluster. I want to know when will the GPU operator support Amazon instances in the managed node groups, like,
AL2_x86_64

AL2_x86_64_GPU

AL2023_x86_64_STANDARD

AL2023_x86_64_NVIDIA

BOTTLEROCKET_x86_64

Thanks,

We have been running AL2_x86_64 and AL2_x86_64_GPU instances for a few years now without issue. We upgraded our test cluster to AL2023_x86_64_NVIDIA and they won't present the GPU anymore. I open an issue here if you want to track it there as well.

We support GPU operator with Amazon Linux 2 using pre-installed driver:
https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/gpu-operator/latest/amazon-eks.html

Support for Amazon Linux 2023 with pre-installed driver is in the backlog and hopefully will be available in Q2 or Q3 CY 2026.
Changing the label of this Github issue to 'feature' as RFE for tracking.
