v0.73.0 - 2022-11-08

Attention!

This release includes a new version of Nvidia's GPU drivers:

• https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/191975/

We have observed that this updated version no longer works on some older Azure VM SKUs (e.g., Standard_NC6). It validates successfully on newer Azure VM SKUs (e.g., Standard_NV12s_v3). If you currently use the AKS Engine-provided nvidia-device-plugin addon (enabled by default for N-series VM SKUs), then please test this new version of AKS Engine with the new Nvidia drivers in a staging environment before rolling out any updates to existing clusters using this release. If you confirm that you are definitely not able to use these new drivers with your preferred GPU-enabled VM SKU, you may still use AKS Engine to create clusters using those GPU-enabled SKUs so long as you disable the nvidia-device-plugin addon. For example:

{
  "apiVersion": "vlabs",
  "properties": {
    "orchestratorProfile": {
      "kubernetesConfig": {
        "addons": [
          {
            "name": "nvidia-device-plugin",
            "enabled": false
          }
        ]
      }
    },
...
