New instructor-led course: Building GPU Platforms on Kubernetes.

NVIDIA announced NVIDIA Kubernetes Engine (NVKE) at KubeCon this week. Our new course connects NVKE to the GPU allocation, sharing, isolation, and efficiency decisions that platform teams face.

You will learn how to:

- Trace GPU access through NVIDIA drivers, container runtimes, and Kubernetes device allocation.
- Compare time-slicing, MPS, and MIG, including their memory, compute, and fault-isolation guarantees.
- Connect DCGM metrics to application throughput and identify wasted GPU capacity.
- Explore NVKE workload clusters and node pools through its local evaluation environment.

The four-day outline covers Kubernetes foundations, architecture, networking, and scheduling over the first three days. Day four focuses on NVIDIA GPUs and NVKE.
