What this PR does

What this PR does

Two stale references in docs/gpu-vgpu.md.

The Last verified line says "this PR's vgpu variant". The variant ships, so there is no PR left for a reader to resolve that against.

The link to packages/system/gpu-operator/examples/README.md calls it the flow "that predates the container variant". That README now opens with the container variant and sends non-Talos hosts to it. The link is there because it is the Talos path.

The rest is gone. #4101 rewrote the same three passages in main, and got right the one thing this PR had wrong: bundles.iaas.gpuOperatorVariant takes container now, so the disabledPackages plus hand-written Package route described here is not the way in. The rebase takes main's text for all three and keeps only the two references #4101 did not touch.

Screenshots

Docs only, no UI change.

Downstream repositories

Checked cozystack/website: neither line exists in content/en/docs/next/virtualization/gpu.md or vgpu.md. The v1.2 snapshot carries its own PR-relative Last verified line, pointing at #2323, but that is a released version's record and out of scope here.

Release note

NONE

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated GPU/vGPU verification details to reference the released vGPU variant.
    • Documented the available container variant, including deployment guidance and its scope compared with passthrough.
    • Updated known limitations to reflect that the container variant is shipped and does not configure host-device wiring through KubeVirt.
    • Clarified when KubeVirt GPU device wiring is applied based on GPU configuration settings.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation now references the released vgpu variant, documents the shipped container variant, and clarifies variant-specific KubeVirt host-device wiring conditions.

Changes

GPU vGPU documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document released GPU variants
docs/gpu-vgpu.md
Verification metadata now references vgpu. Mitigation guidance and known limitations describe the shipped container variant, its deployment constraints, passthrough requirements, and Linux distribution scope.
Document KubeVirt wiring rules
docs/gpu-vgpu.md
The container variant emits no KubeVirt host-device wiring. PCI wiring requires gpu.replaceDefaults: false. Mediated-device wiring also requires gpu.vgpuDeviceManager.enabled: true and is suppressed when gpu.replaceDefaults: true.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 64823

The container variant is documented with the wrong enablement procedure, which can prevent GPU workloads from being deployed or cause the platform to replace the configured package. The guidance should use the supported Package CR and bundles.disabledPackages flow before merge.

Verdict

LGTM

The premise holds. #2766 is in main (commit b6108039b, 10 June), packages/system/gpu-operator/values-container.yaml is in the tree, and packages/core/platform/sources/gpu-operator.yaml carries container as a real variant with its own dependsOn and values list. So the three passages this PR rewrites were describing a variant the reader already has, and the rewrite is a correction rather than a refresh.

I checked the one load-bearing claim the diff adds rather than removes, the escape hatch in the "Alternatives and scope" paragraph, because it is new operational advice and a reader will follow it literally.

Both halves check out:

  • bundles.iaas.gpuOperatorVariant really does reject container. packages/core/platform/tests/bundles_gpu_kubevirt_wiring_test.yaml:215-228 asserts the exact failure, bundles.iaas.gpuOperatorVariant must be "default" or "vgpu", got "container", and a sibling case pins the same rejection when gpu-operator is not enabled, so the typo surfaces at edit time.
  • The disabledPackages plus hand-written Package route is consistent with what the list actually does. _helpers.tpl:9 and :37 use it to stop emitting the document, and bundles/iaas.yaml:44 gates the gpu wiring on the same pair, so once the name is listed nothing re-renders over a hand-written CR. The surviving object is safe for the same reason the changelogs give for 1.1.5 and 1.2.1: the helm.sh/resource-policy: keep annotation.

That last point is worth noting only because it lines up with the correction in #4098 and cozystack/website#683, which are fixing pages that claim the opposite. This page is on the right side of that.

Two smaller things I looked at and found consistent rather than broken: the surviving container prose at line 30 and the host-compatibility table at line 390 agree with the new wording, and line 44 no longer contradicts lines 187 and 223, which already described the same hand-crafted-Package flow.

The "Last verified" line credited the run to "this PR's vgpu variant".
The variant ships and is selectable from platform values, so a reader
on main has no PR to resolve that phrase against.

The link to the gpu-operator examples README described it as the flow
"that predates the container variant". That README now opens by naming
the container variant and sending non-Talos hosts to it, so its age is
no longer what sets it apart. What earns it the link is that it is the
Talos path.

Use the supported container Package flow.

The container variant is not selected with bundles.iaas.gpuOperatorVariant, and it is not part of the bundle-managed bundles.enabledPackages auto-wiring flow. Enable it with a Package CR named gpu-operator, set variant: container, and list that package in bundles.disabledPackages. Otherwise, users can follow this guide and fail to deploy the container variant or have the platform replace the hand-written package.

Proposed documentation correction
- Available now, and selectable from platform values with `bundles.iaas.gpuOperatorVariant: container`.
+ Available now, and enabled with a `Package` CR named `gpu-operator` whose `variant` is `container`, listed in `bundles.disabledPackages`.

Also applies to: 221-221
