Nvidia GPU on bare metal NixOS Kubernetes cluster explained 27 minute read Since the last time I published the second MAZE (Massive Argumented Zonal Environments) article, I realized that the framework is getting more mature, but I need a solution to run it on a large scale. In the past, I built a bare metal Kubernetes cluster on top of a three-node mini PC interconnected with USB4. I have a retired workstation PC with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. I wondered why not put this PC into the three-node Kubernetes cluster and configure Kubernetes to make CUDA work. Once I have one configured, extending the computing power capacity with more GPUs will be easier. Screenshot of btop of my four-node Kubernetes cluster, with three mini PCs connected via USB4 and the newly added retired workstation sporting an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. With that in mind, I took a week on this side quest. It turns out it’s way harder than I expected. I have learned a lot from digging this rabbit hole, and I en ... Read full article.
