Description

By default, AKS installs NVIDIA GPU drivers when a node pool is created using a VM size that supports NVIDIA GPUs. The ability to skip automatic driver installation on your GPU-enabled node pools is now generally available. This option allows you to self-install custom GPU drivers or use the GPU Operator on Linux and Windows node pools.
