Overview

Kyma GPU driver is the remake of gardenlinux-nvidia-installer that does in-cluster node kernel detection and driver compilation, not requiring you to maintain a container repository with all possible images built for different kernel versions.

Prerequisites

Kyma GPU driver operator requires a Kyma cluster with GPU machine types.

Installation

You can install Kyma GPU driver operator by Helm chart and with plain manifest. Helm chart is recommended since it simplifies the removal of unnecessary resources and uninstallation.

Install with Helm chart

Requirements:

• Helm CLI - for details check Installing Helm

Once Helm has been set up correctly, add the repo as follows:

helm repo add kyma-gpu-driver https://kyma-project.github.io/gpu-driver

If you had already added this repo earlier, run helm repo update to retrieve the latest versions of the packages. You can then run helm search repo kyma-gpu-driver to see the charts.

To install the gpu-driver-operator chart you should run:

helm upgrade --install gpu-driver kyma-gpu-driver/gpu-driver-operator

Install with kubectl

Requirements:

• kubectl - for details check Kubernetes tools

To install the Kyma GPU driver operator you should run

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kyma-project/gpu-driver/refs/heads/main/config/dist/all.yaml | kubectl apply -f -

Note

If you are not familiar with the Kubernetes platform and details for the Kyma GPU driver operator manifests, it is recommended to use Helm installation procedure. Installing the plain manifest with kubectl does not delete the old resources, previously installed in some older version but removed in the newer release.

Usage and API

To instruct Kyma GPU driver operator on which nodes you would like to have GPU driver installed you should create a GpuDriver custom resource.

apiVersion: gpu.kyma-project.io/v1beta1
kind: GpuDriver
metadata:
  name: gpu1
spec:
  nodeSelector:
    worker.gardener.cloud/pool: gpu-worker-pool

The resource above specifies that all nodes from the node pool gpu-worker-pool, will be instrumented with the GPU driver. You can use any other set of labels as node selector. If node selector is empty, it will match all nodes.
