Making Kubernetes AI-Ready for NVIDIA Vera Rubin on Day One

What happened: NVIDIA described work to make Kubernetes ready for NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 compute trays on Day 1, using the NVIDIA AI Cluster Runtime (AICR) to capture tuned configurations in reusable recipes and validate running clusters. Key numbers: Validated with GPU Operator v26.7.0, DRA driver v0.5.0, and host-installed R615.23 driver. Why it matters: The Vera Rubin recipe family ships as Preview, an early-adopter path that does not yet carry production support. The content notes it is still early days for Vera Rubin, and MIG on Vera Rubin is not covered by this validation.
