Is it possible to do a new release 0.11.0 so we can have a nvidia image plugin with cuda_version = 11.6?

[ElenaHenderson]

Hello,

I need to install nvidia plugin with cuda_version>=11.5 on my EKS cluster on AWS.

I noticed that master branch as of now has cuda_version=11.6. Can we have a new release 0.11.0 and nvcr.io/nvidia/k8s-device-plugin:v0.11.0?

If not, what is your advice on getting nvidia plugin with cuda_version>=11.5?

Thanks a lot, Elena

We are planning a release soon.

That said, may I ask what you are trying to accomplish? The base image of the plugin has nothing to do with what CUDA version your applications can run with. We only run the plugin on a CUDA base image to satisfy internal processes at NVIDIA. We could just as easily run off of scratch or a vanilla ubuntu image.

@ElenaHenderson the v0.11.0 version of the device plugin has been released. Note that as @klueska mentions, the base image version that is used for the device plugin is due to requirements around our release process and should not affect behaviour in any way.

If the device plugin is not meeting some expectations with regards to behaviour, could you please clarify what these are?
