On DGX systems you will need to enable GPU support right after you install MicroK8s:

```bash
sudo snap install microk8s --classic
sudo microk8s enable gpu

```

MicroK8s installs the NVIDIA operator which allows you to take advantage of the GPU hardware available.

### Verify the installation

To verify the installation works as expected you can try to perform a CUDA vector addition by applying the following manifest (save this file and use [kubectl apply](https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io/references/kubectl/apply/)):

```auto
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: cuda-vector-add
spec:
  restartPolicy: OnFailure
  containers:
    - name: cuda-vector-add
      image: "k8s.gcr.io/cuda-vector-add:v0.1"
      resources:
        limits:
          nvidia.com/gpu: 1

```

After the addition completes, check the logs of the `cuda-vector-add` pod to see if it succeeded.

### Multi-Instance GPU (MIG)

Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) allows GPU partitioning so they can be safely used by CUDA applications. Starting from MicroK8s v1.23 MIG can be configured via configMaps, please see the [NVIDIA operator docs](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/gpu-operator/gpu-operator-mig.html) on this topic.

how can you “apply a manifest”  
detailed command is missing, this was not in my assumed prior knowledge pack 😉
