First official release of the AMD GPU Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) driver for Kubernetes.

Highlights

  • DRA driver for AMD GPUs — kubelet plugin that publishes a gpu.amd.com DeviceClass and serves ResourceSlice/ResourceClaim allocations using resource.k8s.io/v1.
  • GPU discovery & attributes — per-device attributes including PCI device ID, pciBusID, NUMA node, and compute partition profile, published via ResourceSlices.
  • Compute partitioning — partition-aware allocation; non-partitionable GPUs (e.g. MI210) are handled correctly and do not advertise a partitionProfile.
  • Helm chart packaged and auto-published to OCI and gh-pages:
    • driver-init container waits for the amdgpu kernel driver before the plugin starts.
    • Configurable CDI host path (cdi.dynamicPath).
    • Selectable DRA API version at install time (v1 / v1beta2 / v1beta1).
    • deviceClass.create flag to disable DeviceClass creation when co-installed with gpu-operator.
  • RHEL UBI-based driver image; libdrm/CGo dependencies removed for a smaller, simpler build.
  • CI/CD — automated build, test, lint, and release workflows.
  • Docs — Installation & Developer Guide, Demo guide, Driver Attributes reference, CLI options reference, and a Troubleshooting & Known Limitations guide. GitHub issue templates included.

Requirements

  • Kubernetes 1.32+ (DRA beta). Examples use resource.k8s.io/v1 (K8s 1.34+); adjust apiVersion for older clusters.
  • amdgpu kernel driver loaded on each GPU node.
  • Helm v3.7.0+.

Quick Start

# Install Helm
curl -fsSL -o get_helm.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/main/scripts/get-helm-3
chmod 700 get_helm.sh
./get_helm.sh

# Add the Helm repository
helm repo add rocm-k8s-gpu-dra-driver https://rocm.github.io/k8s-gpu-dra-driver
helm repo update

# Install the DRA driver
helm install k8s-gpu-dra-driver rocm-k8s-gpu-dra-driver/k8s-gpu-dra-driver \
  --namespace kube-amd-gpu \
  --create-namespace

Status & Known Limitations

  • The alpha/experimental flag has been removed for this release, but operators should review the Troubleshooting & Known Limitations guide before production rollout.
  • DRA itself is still beta upstream in some early version Kubernetes; cluster admins must ensure the DRA feature gate and APIs are enabled.
