It's been my understanding that container engine does not support GPUs and I can't find any documentation stating otherwise.

Perhaps they jumped the gun? It's obvious that work has been ongoing to e.g. automate GPU provisioning on Google's container OS image:

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion on this.

Our K80 and P100 GPUs are supported on GKE alpha clusters at this time. To request access to the alpha GKE cluster program for GPU support, please submit a request using this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1JNnoUe1_3xZvAogAi16DwH6AjF2...

Note: We will update the blog on this too.

Thanks Chris Kleban
