AWS eks documentation change

Service: eks · 2026-06-04 · Documentation low

File: eks/latest/userguide/node-efa.md

Summary

Minor documentation corrections including grammar fixes, typo corrections ('have' to 'has'), spelling consistency ('Nvidia' to 'NVIDIA'), and resource specification correction (5210Mi to 5120Mi for hugepages).

Security assessment

The changes are grammatical improvements and minor corrections without any indication of addressing security vulnerabilities. The hugepages value correction (5210Mi to 5120Mi) appears to be a typo fix for resource allocation, not a security-related configuration change.

-This topic describes how to integrate Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) with Pods deployed in your Amazon EKS cluster. Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) is a network interface for Amazon EC2 instances that enables you to run applications requiring high levels of inter-node communications at scale on AWS. Its custom-built operating system bypass hardware interface enhances the performance of inter-instance communications, which is critical to scaling these applications. With EFA, High Performance Computing (HPC) applications using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications using NVIDIA Collective Communications Library (NCCL) can scale to thousands of CPUs or GPUs. As a result, you get the application performance of on-premises HPC clusters with the on-demand elasticity and flexibility of the AWS cloud. Integrating EFA with applications running on Amazon EKS clusters can reduce the time to complete large scale distributed training workloads without having to add additional instances to your cluster. For more information about EFA, [Elastic Fabric Adapter](https://aws.amazon.com/hpc/efa/).

You can assign up to one EFA per network card. An EFA counts as a network interface. To see how many EFAs are available for each instance type that have EFA, see the [Network cards](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-eni.html#network-cards) list in the _Amazon EC2 User Guide_.
