=======================================================
Supported Precompiled Container Images for DOCA Drivers
=======================================================

--------
Overview
--------

To save startup time and operational effort, precompiled DOCA driver container images are available for common OS/flavor/kernel/architecture variants.

The container image tag pattern used for common variants is: **driver_ver-container_ver-kernel_ver-flavor-os-arch**. For example: ``24.07-0.6.1.0-0-6.8.0-49-generic-ubuntu24.04-amd64``

**NOTE:** For the ``generic`` flavor of Ubuntu, the default Kernel version is used for precompiling (e.g. *6.8.0-31* for Ubuntu 24.04). Whereas for all other flavors, their latest (at time of DOCA packaging/release) Kernel version is used.

---------------------------
Supported Operating Systems
---------------------------

Currently precompiled DOCA driver container images are provided for the following operating systems:

- Ubuntu 24.04 (amd64/arm64)
- Ubuntu 22.04 (amd64/arm64)

-----------
Limitations
-----------

- NVIDIA supports precompiled driver containers for the most recently released DOCA GA drivers.
- NVIDIA builds precompiled driver containers for ``generic``, ``nvidia``, ``aws``, ``azure``, and ``oracle`` kernel flavors.
- Precompiled driver containers are currently unsigned.
- If your hosts use a different kernel variant, you can create a custom precompiled driver container and host it in your own container registry. Please refer to :ref:`advanced-configurations-precompiled` section.

.. warning::
- Only ``generic`` kernel variant is tested and supported as a GA.
- ``nvidia``, ``aws``, ``azure``, and ``oracle`` kernel variants are supported as a Tech Preview and have limited testing.
