Create nodes with optimized Ubuntu Linux AMIs

Canonical has partnered with Amazon EKS to create node AMIs that you can use in your clusters.

Canonical delivers a built-for-purpose Kubernetes Node OS image. This minimized Ubuntu image is optimized for Amazon EKS and includes the custom AWS kernel that is jointly developed with AWS. For more information, see Ubuntu on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Create self-managed Ubuntu Linux nodes . For information about support, see the Third-party software section of the AWS Premium Support FAQs.
