Installation

NVIDIA Run:ai components

As part of the installation process, you will install:

• A control plane managing cluster/s

• One or more clusters

Both the control plane and clusters require Kubernetes. Typically, the control plane and first cluster are installed on the same Kubernetes cluster.

Installation types

Type	Description
Connected	The organization can freely download from the internet (though upload is not allowed)
