[Device Plugins](/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/compute-storage-net/device-plugins/) are containers running in Kubernetes that provide access to a vendor-specific resource. Device Plugins advertise these resources to {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="kubelet" >}}. They can be deployed manually or as a {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="daemonset" >}}, rather than writing custom Kubernetes code.
|
||||
Device plugins advertise resources to the
|
||||
{{< glossary_tooltip term_id="kubelet" text="kubelet" >}}, so that workload
|
||||
Pods can access hardware features that relate to the Node where that Pod is running.
|
||||
You can deploy a device plugin as a {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="daemonset" >}},
|
||||
or install the device plugin software directly on each target Node.
