Add support for AWS Graviton5 (m9g) instance family when generally available #8744
Description
What problem are you trying to solve?
AWS recently announced the M9g instance family powered by AWS Graviton5 processors, which is currently in preview. These instances offer significant performance improvements over previous generations.
Reference: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/m9g/
According to AWS documentation:
- Up to 25% better compute performance than Graviton4-based M8g instances
- Up to 30% faster for databases
- Up to 35% faster for web applications
- Up to 35% faster for machine learning workloads
The M9g family is expected to include instance types similar to M8g:
- m9g.medium, m9g.large, m9g.xlarge
- m9g.2xlarge, m9g.4xlarge, m9g.8xlarge
- m9g.12xlarge, m9g.16xlarge, m9g.24xlarge, m9g.48xlarge
- m9g.metal-24xl, m9g.metal-48xl
Currently, karpenter-provider-aws supports:
- m6g family (Graviton2) ✓
- m7g family (Graviton3) ✓
- m8g family (Graviton4) ✓
- m9g family (Graviton5) ✗
How important is this feature to you?
This feature request is for adding M9g support once the instances become generally available (GA). Having support ready when M9g instances reach GA would allow users to immediately leverage the latest Graviton5 performance improvements for their Kubernetes workloads managed by Karpenter.
Additional Context
M9g instances are currently in preview (not yet GA). This issue is a tracking/planning issue to ensure support is added once they become generally available.
