PROFILE

Naved Ansari

Naved contributed to the OCP-on-NERC/nerc-ocp-config repository by engineering GPU passthrough capabilities and enhancing observability within Kubernetes test clusters. Over three months, he implemented PCIe GPU passthrough for A100 and V100 GPUs, leveraging YAML and makefile for infrastructure as code and machine configuration updates. His work included IOMMU and vfio-pci integration, resource governance improvements, and rollback mechanisms to simplify cluster setup and ensure safe experimentation. Naved also introduced Prometheus metrics collection for invoicing, relocating ServiceAccount management to improve RBAC and access control. These efforts established reproducible GPU-enabled workflows and strengthened cluster-wide monitoring and security practices.

Dec 1, 2024

December 2024 monthly summary for OCP-on-NERC/nerc-ocp-config focused on delivering GPU passthrough capabilities for virtual machines and tightening resource governance. Key changes include reconfiguring the test cluster to support IOMMU, loading the vfio-pci module, and updating the HyperConverged resource to permit specific host devices. A follow-up commit narrows access to the V100 GPU by removing the A100 node, ensuring controlled and predictable GPU resource allocation for tests. Business value includes enabling GPU-accelerated testing workflows, improved resource isolation, and a foundation for reproducible, scalable VM provisioning. Technologies demonstrated: IOMMU-based PCI passthrough, vfio-pci, HyperConverged resource customization, PCI device management, and Git-based release discipline.

Month 2024-11: Delivered PCIe GPU Passthrough Configuration for A100 GPUs in the test cluster within OCP-on-NERC/nerc-ocp-config. Implemented machine configuration updates and VFIO PCI mappings to enable GPU testing, with a rollback to disable PCI passthrough for simpler test-cluster setup and safer experimentation. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: enables targeted GPU workload testing, accelerates validation cycles, reduces setup complexity, and increases test environment reliability. Technologies/skills demonstrated include Linux machine configuration, VFIO PCI mappings, rollback/feature-toggle patterns, and commit-traceable configuration changes.
