[tormath1]

Let's take a moment to discuss about the ever growing number of security issues and how they are handle from a Flatcar perspective (release cycle, etc.)

[robinschneider]

I started working on the Nvidia GPU operator support, I picked the changes from @chewi and @jepio, rebased everything, created some smaller commits from it and have a GitHub action for images in place. robinschneider/gpu-driver-container#1
If someone wants to look at it. Next steps would be merge the PR and move the repository to the flatcar-hub.
