It wasn't intentional. We added an eBPF program with more instructions than the others. Kernel 4.19 has a lower limit for the number of instructions in eBPF programs
I can't see anything obvious in the changelogs but it looks like at some point after
1.18.9
support for Linux 4.x Kernels was dropped. We currently run some clusters that have a combination of4.19.0-19
and5.10.0-29
kernels but the clusters with 4.x kernels are now failing do deploy the node agent with the following log output.
