Comment 4 for bug 2046143

@toabctl, we are mostly happy with the default EKS Ubuntu AMI. But sometimes, we want to configure our own kubelet config or test custom patches, which is harder to do with "snap" based nodes. And there's a need for unifying our node infra across k8s providers (e.g., share some components between EKS nodes, GKE nodes with Ubuntu).

> If that's the reason, the Ubuntu EKS >= 1.29 images will be based on Jammy (22.04)

Great to know :)
