Question 600
During a regional deployment expansion at a media technology business, engineers report the following issue: A tenant uses generic CPU requests and unexpectedly competes for an unmanaged GPU. The affected work supports language and visual-content AI services; different workloads compete for shared acceleration and storage. Select TWO: the most appropriate action and the strongest verification of that action. (Select TWO.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
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: A tenant uses generic CPU requests and unexpectedly competes for an unmanaged GPU. 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.
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 language and visual-content AI services instead of treating an architecture diagram alone as success.
Incorrect Answers
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Use a workload scheduler such as Slurm with explicit job GPU resource requests, queue policies and fair-share controls for shared training clusters. This choice concerns slurm batch queues fair-share and reservations 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.
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. 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.
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. 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.
