GPU support

[enxebre]

/kind feature

Describe the solution you'd like As a user I'd like to declarative define which GPU I want for my instances

Anything else you would like to add: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gpus/add-gpus#create-gpu-instance-api

We'd need to expose this in the machineInfra API and do the plumbing with GCP API through:

// GuestAccelerators: A list of the type and count of accelerator cards
// attached to the instance.
GuestAccelerators []*AcceleratorConfig `json:"guestAccelerators,omitempty"`

I would like to claim that feature - need gpu support for GCP provider in our clusters.

[cpanato]

go for it @dilyevsky 🎉

@dilyevsky Any progress on this feature ? If not I could take it, since we have already implemented this for Openshift at https://github.com/openshift/cluster-api-provider-gcp/pull/172

@SamuelStuchly You can do the necessary changes.... And that will be the best, and then I can proceed with the documentation for gpu-support😄

Hello @cpanato @dims @richardcase! I am Ishan from India. I am currently working in the computer vision domain, particularly in Medical-AI. Along with Distributed Systems, I also have knowledge of machine learning. I found the Kubernetes-sigs project extremely interesting and wanted to contribute to adding GPU support as Part of LFX for Summer 2022. I am currently going through the documentation to get a better understanding of the codebase. The LFX website shows that mentee applications for this mentorship are closed. Please let me know if I can still submit my application for the project.

Looking forward to contributing to this amazing project.

any updates?

Hello,

3 related PR were closed (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-gcp/pull/529, https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-gcp/pull/655 and https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-gcp/pull/654) due to inactivity. What can we do to move forward on GPU support ? Are people interested by working on it (I wiling to participate) ? Maybe openshift version of this provider can help ?

Regards

[nicolas2bonfils]

@SamuelStuchly do you think that your code in the Openshift version can also be used for this provider ?

A very important and necessary thing

I look at the code and it's very different from the version in the openshift PR. A big work is ahead of us ! :muscle:
