GPU Operator

gpuOperator (Object) — Required​

Description​

The gpuOperator field contains the main configuration of the NVIDIA GPU Operator add-on. It allows enabling the component deployment and adjusting its configuration.

Example​

gpuOperator:
  enabled: true
  valuesOverride:
    gpuOperator:
      driver:
        enabled: true

enabled (boolean) — Required​

Description​

Indicates whether the GPU Operator is enabled (true) or disabled (false) in the cluster. When enabled, the operator automatically deploys the components necessary for managing NVIDIA GPUs.

Example​

enabled: true

valuesOverride (Object) — Required​

Description​

The valuesOverride field allows overriding the default values of the GPU Operator. It is used to customize deployment behavior (enabling the driver, toolkit, plugins, or configuring resources).

Example​

valuesOverride:
  gpuOperator:
    driver:
      enabled: true
    toolkit:
      enabled: true
    devicePlugin:
      enabled: true

💡 Best Practices​

  • Enable enabled: true on nodes equipped with GPUs so the operator can automatically manage NVIDIA components.
  • Use valuesOverride to adapt the configuration to specific needs (e.g., enabling or disabling the driver if already installed manually).
  • Deploy the GPU Operator only in environments where GPU workloads (AI, ML, scientific computing) are required.
