mkdocs.yaml

We may want to keep the docs for AL2 for now.

Youssef-Beltagy · 2026-03-04T20:55:27Z

Makefile

 	hack/lint-space-errors.sh

-.PHONY: test
-test: ## run the test-harness


Did this only test AL2? It seem so but I want to check.

yes I believe so.

Youssef-Beltagy · 2026-03-04T20:59:16Z

Makefile


+BUILD_TARGETS := build k8s validate
+
+ifneq ($(filter $(BUILD_TARGETS),$(MAKECMDGOALS)),)


Instead of validating the input, would it be better/more-consistent if we set defaults?

I worry the defaults won't be updated, given that we left our latest versions as 1.28 for a while.

Youssef-Beltagy

LGTM but I left some changes that I think would be nice to take up.

Youssef-Beltagy · 2026-03-04T21:02:21Z

hack/generate-template-variable-doc.py

    return new_doc

-for template in ['al2', 'al2023']:
+for template in ['al2023']:


We may want to keep the AL2 docs up until AL2 is deprecated by EC2 in mid of this year.

updated, deleting this here but leaving the al2 doc for now.

There is no need to block.

@fletcherw hey I am from AWS DLAMI team. Our eks AL2 pipelines failed this week because your team remove the support for AL2.
But I saw the EOL of AL2 is 2026-06-30
