EL / Rock Linux 8 - cAdvisor - v0.53.0 - /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found #3704
Description
Hello,
I am running a Rocky Linux 8 AWS EC2 Instance built from their official image. I know I need to replace this with an up to date image, but just wanted to put this issue up in case the team or others run into it as I didn't see it yet (maybe it is just me).
I upgraded to the v0.53.0 cAdvisor and have run into the follow issue.
If I downgrade to v0.52.1, it works as expected. I'm not sure this was expected or maybe because of the system the release binary was compiled/created on.
We just download and extract the release binary, then adjust the link, all usually done via automation.
Thank you team for all you do for us!
