mofed-docker

This project builds the Mellanox OFED drivers at different driver versions, Ubuntu distributions and kernel versions and provides a Helm for installing them onto nodes in a Kubernetes cluster.

Images

The images are made available via GitHub packages in the stackhpc/mofed repository with tags of the form:

{{ ofed_version }}-{{ distro }}-{{ kernel_version }}-amd64

For example:

ghcr.io/stackhpc/mofed:5.4-1.0.3.0-ubuntu20.04-5.4.0-81-generic-amd64

Deployment

The Mellanox OFED drivers can be installed on Kubernetes using the Helm chart provided by this repository:

helm repo add mofed https://stackhpc.github.io/mofed-utils
helm upgrade -i --devel mofed-driver mofed/mofed-driver

This installs multiple daemonsets that target different OS distributions and kernel versions using labels from the Node Feature Discovery addon, which should allow for seamless operation when updating nodes in a way that changes the operating system or kernel version (e.g. deploying new nodes using a new image).
