The Kubevirt GPU Device Plugin is a Kubernetes device plugin designed to discover and expose NVIDIA GPUs and vGPUs on Kubernetes nodes. This plugin enables the launch of GPU-attached Kubevirt VMs within a Kubernetes cluster. It is specifically developed to serve Kubevirt workloads in a Kubernetes environment.

Features

• GPU Discovery: Discovers NVIDIA GPUs bound to the VFIO-PCI driver and exposes them as devices available for VM pass-through mode.
• vGPU Discovery: Discovers NVIDIA vGPUs configured on a Kubernetes node and exposes them for attachment to Kubevirt VMs.
• Health Checks: Performs basic health checks on the GPU on a Kubernetes node.
• Kubernetes Compatibility: Requires Kubernetes version 1.11 or higher.

Benefits

• Enhanced Resource Utilization: Optimizes the use of NVIDIA GPUs and vGPUs within Kubernetes clusters.
• Improved Performance: Ensures high performance for Kubevirt VMs with GPU acceleration.
• Simplified Management: Simplifies the management and deployment of GPU resources in Kubernetes.
• Reliability: Provides reliable health checks to ensure GPU functionality.
