What were you trying to accomplish?

Create a Windows node group on an NVIDIA GPU instance

What happened?

I receive an error from the code that prevents me from doing that in eksctl. The error appears in https://github.com/cPu1/eksctl/blob/4bcff91151570a1a15a2a0d8d07ae33799500380/pkg/apis/eksctl.io/v1alpha5/validation.go#L286

How to reproduce it?

...
nodeGroups:
  - name: xxx
    instanceType: g5.xlarge
    amiFamily: WindowsServer20H2CoreContainer

eksctl create cluster -f config.yaml

Logs

Error: couldn't create cluster provider from options: NVIDIA GPU instance types are not supported for WindowsServer20H2CoreContainer

Anything else we need to know?

I provision the nodes the rest of the way to GPU support.
