Update GPU driver type for Windows GPU #4505

Open allyford opened 3 weeks ago

allyford commented 3 weeks ago

Currently, a specific GPU Driver for each VM size is installed automatically. Because workload and driver compatibility are important for functioning GPU workloads, AKS will introduce a new property which will allow you to customize the driver type for your GPU node. This feature is not supported for Linux GPU node pools.

When creating a Windows agent pool in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with GPU support, you have the option to explicitly specify the type of GPU driver using the driverType property within the GPUProfile. The available options are:

Note: When you explicitly set the driverType property, you assume responsibility for ensuring that the selected driver type is compatible with the specific VM size and configuration of your node pool. While AKS attempts to validate compatibility, there are scenarios where the node pool creation might fail due to incompatibilities between the specified driver type and the underlying VM or hardware.

Feature ETA: Preview planned for end of Sept. Note: This estimate is subject to change.
