How to install nvidia drivers on Amazon Linux?

Question

My ec2 instance is of type g4dn.xlarge. I tried nvidia-smi but it seems the drivers are not pre-installed so I want to install them.

I couldn't find much documentation for Amazon Linux online. On the nvidia instructions it isn't specifically mentioned. 
When running `sudo cat /etc/os-release` I get this output:
```
NAME="Amazon Linux"
VERSION="2023"
ID="amzn"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
VERSION_ID="2023"
...
```
So i tried to follow the instructions for fedora (randomly fedora34) but I got errors during the installation (I guess because of incompatibility).

Any help highly appreciated.

Can we use that image you linked with EKS?

Hi Nina,

Would it be ok for you to use an AMI with the drivers pre-installed:
