OpenShift (OCP) User Guide

OpenShift provides an efficient and manageable way to orchestrate deep learning workloads at scale. This document describes the steps required to setup a generic OpenShift based solution for an on-premise setup based on CoreOS Host configuration.

Note

• This guide is applicable for Intel® Gaudi® software version 1.14.0 and below.

• OpenShift (OCP) installed on the Host is based on RHEL8.6. It is no longer supported on CentOS8.3 due to End Of Life.

• RHEL8.6 subscription is required. Follow the OCP based host setup instructions in Create an OpenShift Cluster.

The following components needed for deploying a generic Kubernetes solution are provided:

• Docker Image needed to build and load the Intel Gaudi driver.

• Intel Gaudi software packages required to install and load FW and Intel Gaudi driver. See Installation Guide and On-Premise System Update.

• Device Plug in for Kubernetes. See Kubernetes User Guide.

The above components except Docker Image are available for download and use in the Intel Gaudi Vault .

The following sections detail the steps required and provide implementation examples:

• Preparation For Running Docker Image on OCP-based Host
• Build & Run Docker Container
• Load Intel Gaudi Driver Inside Running Docker Container
• Intel Gaudi Device Plugin for Kubernetes
• Usage Examples
