Description

On August 14 2025, Azure Kubernetes Service will no longer support the skip-gpu-driver-install node pool tag to skip automatic driver installation on GPU node pools. Starting on August 14 2025, you will no longer be able to use this node pool tag at AKS node pool creation time to install custom GPU drivers or use the GPU Operator. Alternatively, you should use the generally available gpu-driver API field to update your existing node pools or create new GPU-enabled node pools to skip automatic GPU driver installation.
