Device Plugins

Kubernetes provides the Device Plugin framework that lets device manufacturers advertise system hardware resources to kubelet. Kubelet can then use this information to make the appropriate allocations for pods. Some examples of device plugins supported are:

The AMD GPU device plugin

The Intel device plugins for Intel GPU, FPGA and QuickAssist device

The KubeVirt device plugins for hardware-assisted virtualization

The NVIDIA GPU device plugin

Requires nvidia-docker 2.0, which allows you to run GPU-enabled Docker containers

The NVIDIA GPU device plugin for Container-Optimized OS

The RDMA device plugin

The Solarflare device plugin

The SR-IOV Network device plugin

The Xilinx FPGA device plugins for Xilinx FPGA devices
