I dug around a bit, but didn't see anything definitive.

Does anybody know if Rancher 1.X or 2.0 support GPU instances? That's a must have feature for us.

Thanks!

Does docker need anything special for GPU instances? As far as I know, rancher 1.X simply interacts with the docker agent running on whatever hardware you provide (cloud or otherwise).

We use a variant of Docker https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker

Kubernetes version 1.7 (I believe) introduced native GPU support, in beta.

So there are some 'special' things that need to be done...though the gap seems to be getting more narrow.

I'm looking in to this.

Thank you kindly.

Here's what I've found out...

We have some customers who are using this configuration (including nvidia-docker) with some scheduling limitations.

That being said, we haven't expressly integrated this use case, so anything Kubernetes has done in 1.7 is available, but not completely surfaced/taken advantage of.

Ok that's sensible.

Any chance of some documentation/HOWTO on how that was done?

Thanks again!
