Support for AL2023 GPU

[darhsu]

Hello, wondering if there are any plans on supporting Amazon Linux 2023 GPU given that NVIDIA now has documentation on using their drivers on AL2023: amazonlinux/amazon-linux-2023#12 (comment)

Hi @darhsu , thank you for the interest in AL2023 ECS GPU Optimized AMIs. While Nvidia has made AL2023 packages available, there is still a dependency on these packages to be made available in repositories published by Amazon Linux so that ECS GPU AMIs can be built

Please checkout containers roadmap issue to track the feature request there - aws/containers-roadmap#2072

AL2023 has built-in support for installing NVIDIA drivers now.

The nvidia-release package, added in the 2023.6.20241031 release will enable an RPM package repository with NVIDIA drivers available for installation.

More documentation is to come, as it's incredibly sparse at the moment. However, this should unblock downstream AMIs who wish to consume packages directly from Amazon Linux.
