Installing NVIDIA drivers
To enable compatibility with GPU, make sure NVIDIA drivers are installed on your VM. You can install the drivers either when preparing the image or from within the VM after it is created.
Note
Compute Cloud performs health checks and recommends installing only LTS versions of drivers.
