The NVIDIA Kubernetes Device Plugin is an implementation of the Kubernetes device plugin framework that advertises GPUs as available resources to the kubelet. It is provided as a Daemonset that automatically exposes the number of GPUs on each node of the cluster, keeps track of the health of GPUs, and runs GPU-enabled containers in a Kubernetes cluster. This container is expected to be used in a Kubernetes cluster environment and is also deployed by the NVIDIA GPU Operator.

Features

• GPU Resource Registration: Registers GPUs as compute resources in Kubernetes clusters.
• Health Monitoring: Keeps track of the health of GPUs.
• Daemonset Deployment: Automatically exposes the number of GPUs on each node.
• GPU-Enabled Containers: Runs GPU-enabled containers in Kubernetes clusters.
• Integration with NVIDIA GPU Operator: Deployed by the NVIDIA GPU Operator for seamless integration.

Benefits

• Efficiency: Simplifies the management of GPU resources in Kubernetes.
• Scalability: Supports large-scale deployments with automated GPU management.
• Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Kubernetes and NVIDIA technologies.
• Reliability: Ensures reliable GPU resource management and monitoring.
• Ease of Use: Simplifies the setup and configuration process with automated tasks.
