-    Currently, only one EFA interface is enabled per instance, regardless of its maximum capacity.
-    This will change once [this issue :material-arrow-top-right-thin:{ .external }](https://github.com/dstackai/dstack/issues/1804){:target="_blank"} is resolved.
+    If the `aws` backend config has `public_ips: false` set, `dstack` enables the maximum number of interfaces supported by the instance.
+    Otherwise, if instances have public IPs, only one EFA interface is enabled per instance due to AWS limitations.
 
 > The `cluster` placement is supported only for `aws`, `azure`, `gcp`, `oci`, and `vultr`
 > backends.
