[Announcement] Base image upgrade to AL2023 #1719

In a future release (EBS CSI Driver release 1.23 or later), the EBS CSI Driver's base image will be upgraded from Amazon Linux 2 (AL2) to Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023). The previous major change to the base image was from full AL2 to a minified AL2. This change will continue to improve the performance and security of the EBS CSI Driver via updates available only on AL2023.

As part of this change, e2fsprogs will be upgraded from 1.42.9 to 1.46.5 and xfsprogs will be upgraded from 5.0.0 to 5.18.0. New volumes created on versions of the EBS CSI Driver with an AL2023 base image may fail to mount or resize on versions of the EBS CSI Driver with an AL2 base image. For this reason, downgrading the EBS CSI Driver across base images will not be supported and is strongly discouraged.

Please use this issue for any questions or feedback about the upcoming upgrade.

since the change is not applied yet, is there a reason that is it so emphasized in the CHANGELOG of 1.22?

The sentence "(No, really, you MUST read this before you upgrade)" is a bit confusing there imho.

Sorry about that, the "read this before you upgrade" wording is misleading. We wanted to pre-announce the change in the 1.22 CHANGELOG to gather any feedback, but it should have been under a section titled something more like "Announcements" or "Upcoming Changes". To be clear this change does not affect 1.22, but will affect 1.23.

This more or less means that we can only "roll-forward" and cannot revert in case of any issues yes ?
What it means for volumes created by EBS-CSI-Driver running on AL2 after we migrate to AL2023 ?
