Device Plugins 2.0: How to Build a Driver for Dynamic Resource Allocation

This talk explores Device Plugins 2.0 and how to build a driver for Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) in Kubernetes. DRA offers an alternative to the traditional countable interface for resource requests, enabling more advanced features like controlled GPU sharing, multiple GPU models per node, and dynamic allocation of MIG devices. The presentation covers the architecture of DRA resource drivers, including centralized controllers and node-local kubelet plugins, and demonstrates how to implement the necessary logic using helper libraries. It also touches on new and upcoming features for managing multiple resource claims and custom resource drivers.
