Use Cases & Benefits
- Provides a Kubernetes device plugin daemonset to expose and manage NVIDIA GPUs on cluster nodes for GPU-enabled container workloads.
- Enables automatic GPU resource discovery, health tracking, and flexible GPU sharing strategies within Kubernetes clusters.
- Use for deploying GPU-accelerated applications in Kubernetes clusters requiring native NVIDIA GPU support and resource scheduling.
- Use for configuring GPU sharing via CUDA time-slicing or MPS to allow multiple workloads to share GPUs efficiently.
- Use for integrating GPU Feature Discovery labels to enable fine-grained GPU resource identification and scheduling in Kubernetes.
