NVIDIA Releases Two Open Source Projects for GPU Kubernetes Management

NVIDIA has published two open source projects, NVIDIA Kubernetes Engine (NVKE) and NVIDIA Kubernetes Recipes (NVKR), both in public preview under the Apache 2.0 license on GitHub, as components of its DSX AI Factory Platform. NVKR builds reproducible node images, container images and packages from version-pinned sources, and NVKE uses those artifacts to provision and run Kubernetes clusters through a REST API and controllers on a management cluster. NVIDIA says APIs and behavior may change between releases and neither project is recommended for production workloads yet. Cloud partners Firmus and SK Telecom are integrating both, while Mirantis, Rafay, Spectro Cloud, OpenNebula Systems, vCluster and Netris are adopting components. Teams can use the projects together or separately.
