Mirantis is one of the first design and integration partners to deliver secure multi-tenant networking for AI with NVIDIA BlueField Data Processing Units (DPUs). By combining the declarative, Kubernetes-native capabilities of Mirantis k0rdent AI with the high-performance data processing and isolation features of NVIDIA BlueField, organizations can build infrastructure that is not only optimized for AI but also governed, flexible, and cost-effective.

Mirantis has also been selected as a collaborator in the NVIDIA AI Factory for Government reference design to accelerate deployments of AI agents and applications in federal and enterprise deployments. Together, Mirantis and NVIDIA give government agencies a trusted foundation for mission-critical AI deployments – enabling them to innovate faster, maintain control, and uphold the highest standards of security and compliance.

Mirantis and NVIDIA are partnering to make it faster and easier for developers to build and run GPU-accelerated containers using Mirantis Kubernetes Engine. The new integration is based on the NVIDIA GPU Operator, which automates the lifecycle management of the various software components required to expose GPUs on Kubernetes. It enables advanced functionality and increased GPU performance, utilization, and telemetry. Mirantis has worked with NVIDIA to validate the NVIDIA GPU Operator on Mirantis Kubernetes Engine 3.5.7+ and 3.6.2+, optimizing the GPU Operator to quickly provision the servers with GPUs and run containerized AI/ML workloads.

Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes also supports NVIDIA time-sliced vGPU and Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) modes for dynamic allocation of GPU resources or more isolated environments for predictable performance and better resource isolation.
