Overview

Intel Device Plugins for Kubernetes is a collection of device plugins advertising Intel specific hardware resources to the kubelet. Currently the operator has basic support for the QAT, GPU, FPGA and SGX device plugins: it validates container image references and extends reported statuses.

Installation and Usage

To run an operator instance in the container run

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.0.3/cert-manager.yaml
$ make deploy-operator

Then deploy your device plugin by applying its custom resource, e.g. GpuDevicePlugin with

$ kubectl apply -f ./deployments/operator/samples/deviceplugin_v1_gpudeviceplugin.yaml

Observe it is up and running:

$ kubectl get GpuDevicePlugin
NAME                     DESIRED   READY   NODE SELECTOR   AGE
gpudeviceplugin-sample   1         1                       5s
