# GPU Kubernetes Role
This document describes how to use the `gpu-k8s` role to deploy a simple Kubernetes cluster with NVIDIA GPU support.
## Overview
The role performs three main tasks:
1. **Create the Kubernetes cluster** using [sealos](https://github.com/labring/sealos). It runs the provided `sealos run` command to bootstrap the master and worker nodes.
2. **Install NVIDIA drivers and the NVIDIA container toolkit** on the target hosts so that Kubernetes can access GPU resources.
3. **Verify GPU access** by deploying the official NVIDIA device plugin and running a small CUDA workload.
The following command is used to create the cluster (example with one master and one worker):
```bash
sealos run \
registry.cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/labring/kubernetes:v1.29.9 \
registry.cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/labring/cilium:v1.13.4 \
registry.cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/labring/helm:v3.9.4 \
--masters 172.16.11.120 \
--nodes 172.16.11.152 \
--env '{}' \
--cmd "kubeadm init --skip-phases=addon/kube-proxy"
```
After the cluster is running the role installs the NVIDIA device plugin and runs a test pod to ensure `nvidia-smi` works inside the cluster.
## Usage
Add the role to your playbook:
```yaml
- hosts: all
roles:
- gpu-k8s
```
Example playbook snippet defining the IP lists:
```yaml
- hosts: all
vars:
master_ips:
- "172.16.11.120"
node_ips:
- "172.16.11.152"
roles:
- gpu-k8s
```
The playbook expects `master_ips` and `node_ips` variables which are lists of IP addresses. Up to
three masters can be specified.
Run the playbook with your inventory that contains the master and node IP addresses.
```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts/all playbooks/demo_gpu_k8s.yml
```
The final step prints the output of `nvidia-smi` from inside a Kubernetes pod, confirming that the GPU is available.
