@everyone :boom: Providers! Especially the GPU-providers (not limited to :warning: )

Make sure you have disabled the unattended upgrades!

Unattended upgrades can bring all sorts of uncertainty/troubles such as upgrade your nvidia drivers and "lock-up" your K8s cluster. (nvidia-smi will hang on the host/pod; nvdp plugin will stuck and hence K8s cluster will be running in a non-desired state where closed deployments will be stuck in Terminating status)

This impacts me, what do I do now?

Check your provider, and if you experience any of these issues (nvidia-smi not hangs, pods stuck in Terminating state), then just reboot your impacted K8s nodes, preferably after disabling the unattended upgrades (see next step).

How to disable the unattended upgrades?

To disable the unattended upgrades, execute these two commands on your worker & control plane Ubuntu/Debian-based nodes:

echo -en 'APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";\nAPT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";\n' | tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades

apt remove unattended-upgrades

Verify

These commands should output 0 like in this example:

# apt-config dump APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";

# apt-config dump APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";

Akash doc site entry has been made for instructions listed in this issue here:

https://docs.akash.network/providers/build-a-cloud-provider/akash-cloud-provider-build-with-helm-charts/step-11-disable-unattended-upgrades

Verified the nodes and applied where applicable:

• [x] hurricane (control & worker nodes)
• [x] proxmox & proxmox2 hosts (Proxmox disables them by default)
• [x] archival RPC
• [x] ghr-testnetify
• [x] sandbox validator & provider nodes (CoreWeave-based installations already had it disabled)
• [x] nuc1, nuc2

Have updated the internal doc for Ubuntu Jammy installation config.
