nodejs is unsupported version in setup.sh

[gwolski]

I have been using nodejs version 18.20.2 to deploy parallecluster 3.9.1 and 3.11.1 but have been failing to get 3.10.1 deployed due to error messages in my CreateParallelClusterConfig cloudwatch log about not finding rpds.rpds:

Thinking this might be an issue with me moving forward with different versions of nodejs (18.20.2) and CDK (2.130.0 or 2.165.0) I've reverted back to original setup.sh. I get big warning messages during deployment:--------------------------------------------

This is very disconcerting. Should/Can this not be moved forward?

I'm still debugging why I can't a 3.10.1 cluster deployed. I've done a clean pull, deploying a 3.10.1 custom AMI. Will then try 3.11.1 again to prove it still works with 3.11.1.

Issue #280 was the root cause of why you weren't able to deploy.
It wasn't related to the nodejs or CDK version.

Understood it isn't related to my issue, but having big red warnings pop up while doing the build would be disconcerting to noobies - it was for me originally, hence that is why I moved forward.

I'm just suggesting you make the move forward. I have successfully used nodejs 18.20.2 and CDK 2.130.0. But I just don't know enough if that is "safe" and the right thing to do.
