AMI Release v20240202

Note

This release addresses an issue with Kubernetes 1.29 that allowed the sandbox container image used by containerd to be garbage-collected by kubelet. More information is available in #1597.

If you install the AWS CLI v1 on your nodes (such as with yum install aws-cli), the sandbox container image may not be pulled correctly. We recommend you use the AWS CLI v2 which is included in the AMI.

What's Changed

• Use crictl to pull sandbox image by @cartermckinnon in #1605
• Remove sandbox image from build-time cache by @cartermckinnon in #1615

Note
A recent change in the Linux kernel caused the EFA and NVIDIA drivers to be incompatible. More information is available in #1494.
To prevent unexpected failures, the kernel in the GPU AMI will remain at the following versions until we have determined a solution:

• Kubernetes 1.24 and below: 5.4.254-170.358.amzn2
• Kubernetes 1.25 and above: 5.10.192-183.736.amzn2
