If an EKS node has Linux kernel version x.y, can a container running on the node have a higher version of linux say x.(y 1) or (x 1).z?

CodePudding user response：

Containers share the machine’s OS system kernel and therefore do not require an OS per application, driving higher server efficiencies and reducing server and licensing costs

Asserted from What's container. Thus for your question, your container will have the same version as the host kernel. You can uname -srm on the host and exec the same command in the container to confirm.
