EFA update for scalability with AI/ML applications

[ewbankkit]

AWS announces the launch of a new interface type that decouples the Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) from the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA). EFA provides high-bandwidth, low-latency networking crucial for scaling AI/ML workloads. The new interface, "EFA-only", allows you to create a standalone EFA device on secondary interfaces.
