Month: 2025-08 — NVIDIA/doca-platform: delivered key accessibility and reliability improvements. Public doca-snap image registry enabled by moving the image source from a private staging registry to the public NVIDIA registry, improving deployment accessibility for users. Fixed DaemonSet readiness across all DPUs by disabling leader election for the snap-node-driver, addressing a bug where the driver was ready only on a single DPU. These changes reduce deployment friction, improve multi-DPU reliability, and strengthen CI/CD consistency. Commits: bb96d38ae0d5a0d23839776e7ebbfdd857096a53; e6bc2c408a2cc64893cbe2ec11e29e1a4a416492.
