Node groups with GPUs
You can create Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster node groups with graphics accelerators (GPUs). A node is created from an image of a GPU-compatible VM with NVIDIA drivers and CUDA libraries
Prerequisites
-
A cloud must have a non-zero GPU quota.
By default, the cloud has a zero quota for creating VMs with GPUs. You can request a quota increase in the management console
. To do this, you need thequota-manager.requestOperator
role or higher. -
A node group must reside in the
ru-central1-a
orru-central1-b
availability zone, or in both. VMs with GPUs are only available in these zones.When requesting a GPU quota, keep in mind which zones you are going to run your Kubernetes clusters in.
Pricing
To run node groups with GPUs, you need a Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster, a VM with a GPU, and traffic. Therefore, billing consists of the following parts:
- Using a Managed Service for Kubernetes master is charged according to the Managed Service for Kubernetes pricing policy.
- VM with a GPU, according to the Yandex Compute Cloud pricing policy.
- Outgoing traffic, according to the Yandex Virtual Private Cloud pricing policy.
