GPU Scheduling, Isolation, and Resource Allocation in Kubernetes Clusters
This guide explains why a GPU‑enabled node may show devices with nvidia‑smi yet keep Pods pending, walks through the complete node‑to‑container GPU path, and provides step‑by‑step procedures for device discovery, Device Plugin configuration, isolation models (full‑card, time‑slicing, MIG), scheduling constraints, quota management, multi‑GPU training, troubleshooting pending Pods, and monitoring with DCGM metrics.
