Title: Quiz 10 — GPU Orchestration on Kubernetes with the NVIDIA GPU Operator
Course: AIINFRA 200: Production Inference Serving & GPU Orchestration > Section: Week 10 — GPU Orchestration on Kubernetes with the NVIDIA GPU Operator

Q: What Kubernetes design pattern does the NVIDIA GPU Operator implement?
- Sidecar pattern
- Operator pattern
- Init container pattern
- Ambassador pattern
A: Operator pattern

Q: After installing the GPU Operator, running nvidia-smi directly on the host node's shell will work out of the box.
- True
- False
A: False

Q: Which Kubernetes primitive does the GPU Operator use to ensure its components run automatically on every matching GPU node, including newly added ones?
- Deployment
- StatefulSet
- DaemonSet
- Job
A: DaemonSet

Q: What resource name does a pod request in its resources.limits to be scheduled onto a node with a GPU (e.g., nvidia.com/gpu: 1)?
Feedback: Sample/expected answer: [**nvidia.com/gpu**](http://nvidia.com/gpu)

Q: Installing the plain Kubernetes device plugin alone (without the full GPU Operator) still requires you to manually install the NVIDIA driver and configure the container runtime yourself first.
- True
- False
A: True

Q: What is distinctive about the NVIDIA driver DaemonSet's pod in the GPU Operator?
- It runs entirely inside an isolated container with no host access
- It installs the NVIDIA kernel module directly onto the host OS from within a container
- It only reads GPU metrics and never installs anything
- It replaces the Kubernetes scheduler
A: It installs the NVIDIA kernel module directly onto the host OS from within a container

Q: Which container runtime should students expect to configure the NVIDIA Container Toolkit for when working with most modern managed Kubernetes services?
- Docker
- containerd
- CRI-O only
- None — Kubernetes handles GPUs without a runtime
A: containerd

Q: Name one component (other than the driver and device plugin) that a default GPU Operator Helm install deploys as part of the stack.
Feedback: Sample/expected answer: Any one of: NVIDIA Container Toolkit, GPU Feature Discovery, DCGM Exporter, MIG Manager, Node Feature Discovery
