Nodes of a NodeGroup with AMI type BOTTLEROCKET_x86_64_NVIDIA are not joining the cluster #7897
Description
The customer used eksctl to create a managed node group with the gpus set to 0 in the instance selector and specified the AMI family as Bottlerocket. Under these settings, a normal Bottlerocket AMI was expected to be configured, but the customer's managed node group was configured with an NVIDIA Bottlerocket variant, causing instances to fail to load kernel modules.
