What this guide shows

This poster walks through the path from a functioning Kubernetes cluster to a validated, observable, and production-ready GPU platform.

It highlights:

  • prerequisite cluster services and tooling
  • operator installation flow
  • what happens before and after GPU worker nodes join
  • node-level agents, plugins, and telemetry components
  • readiness checks before running CUDA, PyTorch, NCCL, or inference workloads

Best for

  • platform engineers bringing GPU workers into Kubernetes
  • operators validating cluster readiness before onboarding workloads
  • teams building an internal runbook for day-0 and day-1 GPU platform checks

Why it matters

GPU platforms fail quietly when prerequisites, plugins, node labels, runtime configuration, or observability are incomplete. This guide keeps those dependencies visible in one place.
