Description

With the currently documented steps, nvidia-device-plugin does not schedule the plugin DaemonSet to any of the cluster workers. This is because the worker nodes are missing required labels.

After installing the Helm chart, the worker(s) need to be labeled thusly:

kubectl label node "${KIND_CLUSTER_NAME}-worker" --overwrite nvidia.com/gpu.present=true

Only afterwards does kubectl --context=kind-${KIND_CLUSTER_NAME} get pod -n nvidia show any Pods.

Research direction

Start with the documentation for installing the nvidia-device-plugin Helm chart and compare its steps with the reported worker-node setup. Verify the documented flow includes the shown kubectl label command and that kubectl --context=kind-${KIND_CLUSTER_NAME} get pod -n nvidia can show the plugin Pods afterward.
