What were you trying to accomplish?

eksctl 0.204.0 is installing the nvidia device plugin when there are no GPU instances.

What happened?

Created a new nodegroup and noticed there is now an nvidia-device-plugin-daemonset DaemonSet running.

How to reproduce it?

The instance type for the nodegroup is r7a.large using Amazon Linux 2023 and the AMI is ami-06217cd9e50f69072 which is the standard EKS x86 image.

Logs

Nothing of note, just that the eksctl logs mention I'm running a GPU-enabled instance type so the device plugin is automatically installed.

Anything else we need to know?

I don't actually want eksctl to manage the nvidia device plugin so I'll be updating my workflows to explicitly disable it.
