chore: update NVIDIA GRID driver to v18.6 (570.211.01)#154
Merged
Conversation
Bump the GRID driver from 550.144.06 (vGPU 17.55) to 570.211.01 (vGPU 18.6). Version + URL sourced from the Azure HPC NVIDIA driver manifest: https://github.com/Azure/azhpc-extensions/blob/master/NvidiaGPU/resources.json Note: auto_update.py currently reads Nvidia-GPU-Linux-Resources.json which is stuck at 17.55. A follow-up PR will update the auto-updater to pull v18.x from the resources.json file (filtered by vGPUVersion major == "18"). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
