Update AWS EKS documentation to use an Ubuntu AMI

[JamesMaki]

Thank you for the phenomenal AWS documentation your team maintains, eksctl currently uses the "Amazon Linux 2 x86 Accelerated AMI" by default which has GPU driver version 470.161.03.

As of this week the NVIDIA GPU Operator officially supports EKS for Ubuntu AMIs in release 23.3.0.

Using the GPU Operator with the current default AMI results in the driver container not being deployed due to the pre-installed drivers and the device-plugin-validator fails likely due to the old GPU drivers in the cluster.

I recommend we wait to update the documentation until this issue is resolved so that we can provide a really clean way for users to create a managed Ubuntu nodegroup: eksctl-io/eksctl#6499

Once this is implemented the only change needed in RAPIDS documentation is changing the existing eksctl cluster create command to include the additional flag:

--node-ami-family Ubuntu2004 \

This should provide users with the latest recommended GPU drivers and resolve the device plugin validator pod issue.

@jacobtomlinson @beckernick sorry for the delay in opening this, I wanted to wait until the GPU Operator support was official.

Thanks @JamesMaki this sounds good to me. We will hold until eksctl-io/eksctl#6499 is resolved then.
