[Bug] Inf2 Managed Node Groups should have used Amazon Linux 2 GPU Optimized AMI

[lindarr915]

What were you trying to accomplish?

I'm creating an EKS Node Group with Inf2 instances

What happened?

The managed node group does not use Amazon Linux 2 GPU Optimized AMI.
I would expect it use Amazon Linux 2 GPU Optimized AMI that includes Neuron device drivers.

How to reproduce it?

# my-neuron-cluster.yaml
apiVersion: eksctl.io/v1alpha5
kind: ClusterConfig

metadata:
  name: my-neuron-cluster
  region: us-west-2  # Replace with your desired AWS region

managedNodeGroups:
  - name: inf2-node-group
    instanceType: inf2.8xlarge
    minSize: 1  
    maxSize: 4 
    desiredCapacity: 2

Hi @lindarr915 , at this time, eksctl doesn't fully support inf2 instance types. There was an attempt on this feature in the past, however we had to revert the PR due to issues caught by our integration tests.
