Question 590

During a multi-team AI platform review at an applied research institute, engineers report the following issue: Kubernetes nodes contain GPUs but the scheduler reports zero allocatable GPU resources. The affected work supports training and inference experiments; jobs must produce reproducible, defensible technical results. Which TWO responses form the best remediation-and-evidence pair? (Select TWO.)

  1. Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices.
  2. A test pod requests a supported accelerator resource, schedules to an eligible node and performs a successful device computation.
  3. Maintain an inventory of GPU systems, drivers, firmware, network devices and approved configuration versions with controlled rollout and reconciliation.
  4. Place tightly coupled distributed training processes with awareness of accelerator counts, network topology and collective communication demands, and validate gang-scheduling needs.
  5. A time-series review connects kernel activity and memory use to actual completed training or inference work while checking limit events.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

Correct corrective action. Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices. This fits the specific reported issue: Kubernetes nodes contain GPUs but the scheduler reports zero allocatable GPU resources. The corresponding failure being reduced is: Pods cannot reliably obtain GPUs if device resources are not exposed or requested correctly, even when nodes physically contain accelerators.

B:

Correct independent evidence. A test pod requests a supported accelerator resource, schedules to an eligible node and performs a successful device computation. This verifies the corrective approach for the affected training and inference experiments instead of treating an architecture diagram alone as success.

Incorrect Answers

C:

Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Maintain an inventory of GPU systems, drivers, firmware, network devices and approved configuration versions with controlled rollout and reconciliation. This choice concerns cluster inventory firmware and configuration baseline and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'Kubernetes nodes contain GPUs but the scheduler reports zero allocatable GPU resources', which calls for reasoning about Kubernetes gpu device scheduling and discovery. The targeted response is: Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices.

D:

Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Place tightly coupled distributed training processes with awareness of accelerator counts, network topology and collective communication demands, and validate gang-scheduling needs. This choice concerns distributed job placement and topology-aware orchestration and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'Kubernetes nodes contain GPUs but the scheduler reports zero allocatable GPU resources', which calls for reasoning about Kubernetes gpu device scheduling and discovery. The targeted response is: Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices.

E:

Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. A time-series review connects kernel activity and memory use to actual completed training or inference work while checking limit events. This choice concerns gpu utilization memory and power telemetry interpretation and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'Kubernetes nodes contain GPUs but the scheduler reports zero allocatable GPU resources', which calls for reasoning about Kubernetes gpu device scheduling and discovery. The targeted response is: Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices.

Question 591

During a high-traffic model-service launch at an online commerce company, engineers report the following issue: A training pod lands on a CPU-only node because its manifest lacks a GPU request. The affected work supports product search, recommendations and fraud screening; peak request demand makes degraded predictions visible to customers. Which action most directly addresses the described requirement?

  1. Use NVIDIA Data Center GPU Manager to collect supported accelerator telemetry, health and diagnostic information across datacenter GPU nodes.
  2. Use a workload scheduler such as Slurm with explicit job GPU resource requests, queue policies and fair-share controls for shared training clusters.
  3. Use nvidia-smi or supported NVIDIA management interfaces to inspect GPU identification, utilization, memory, temperatures and running processes as an initial node-level diagnostic.
  4. Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Correct. Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices. This directly addresses the observed issue: A training pod lands on a CPU-only node because its manifest lacks a GPU request.

Question 592

During a high-traffic model-service launch at an online commerce company, engineers report the following issue: A training pod lands on a CPU-only node because its manifest lacks a GPU request. The affected work supports product search, recommendations and fraud screening; peak request demand makes degraded predictions visible to customers. Which acceptance result is most relevant to this workload?

  1. A sampled node's actual firmware, GPU, driver and fabric settings match the approved inventory or show a tracked exception.
  2. An authorized operator retrieves board-level health and remote console information over the protected management network while the host OS is unavailable.

Question 593

During a regulated deployment assessment at a healthcare imaging provider, engineers report the following issue: A new cluster deploys workloads before configuring compatible GPU drivers and plugins. The affected work supports clinical imaging and model-assisted workflows; patient data constraints and reliable model performance are important. What should the AI infrastructure engineer recommend first?

  1. Compare supported vGPU or time-sliced sharing, passthrough and MIG-backed virtualization according to VM isolation, licensing, performance and hardware support requirements.
  2. Use nvidia-smi or supported NVIDIA management interfaces to inspect GPU identification, utilization, memory, temperatures and running processes as an initial node-level diagnostic.

A deliberately observed GPU condition appears in DCGM telemetry with node and device identity and leads to an actionable diagnostic record. This choice concerns nvidia dcgm gpu fleet diagnostics and health and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'A tenant uses generic CPU requests and unexpectedly competes for an unmanaged GPU', which calls for reasoning about Kubernetes gpu device scheduling and discovery. The targeted response is: Use appropriate NVIDIA GPU drivers, device discovery or GPU Operator components and Kubernetes resource requests so eligible workloads receive supported accelerator devices.

D:

Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Use a secured baseboard management controller and out-of-band path to inspect system sensors, power and remote console status independently of the host operating system. This choice concerns bmc and out-of-band server health administration and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'A tenant uses generic CPU requests and unexpectedly competes for an unmanaged GPU', which calls for reasoning about Kubernetes gpu device scheduling and discovery.
