The Node Feature Discovery operator is a tool for Kubernetes administrators that makes it easy to detect and understand the hardware features and configurations of a cluster's nodes. With this operator, administrators can easily gather information about their nodes that can be used for scheduling, resource management, and more by controlling the life cycle of NFD.
The operator works by orchestrating all resources needed to run the Node-Feature-Discovery (NFD). NFD runs on each node in the cluster and detects the features and configurations of the node's hardware.
