Description

Issue or feature description

We have a node in our Kubernetes cluster with an 8-way A100 GPU. Our goal is to configure GPU access for both containers and VMs on this node. Specifically, we would like to mix KubeVirt VM passthrough with normal GPU pods.

Questions:
  1. Is it currently possible to configure GPU access for both containers and VMs on the node?
  2. If this configuration is not supported, are there any workarounds or plans on the roadmap to support such a setup in the future?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the GPU Operator's Kubernetes configuration guidance and the issue's KubeVirt VM passthrough and GPU pod requirements. Determine whether mixed access is currently supported for the same node, and document any confirmed workaround or roadmap status as the completed outcome.
