Description

Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) now supports NVIDIA H100 and H200 GPU-based Azure Virtual Machine SKUs, enabling customers to run large-scale AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads on a fully managed OpenShift service. This update allows organizations to deploy GPU-accelerated containers using enterprise Kubernetes with built-in security, lifecycle management, and Azure integration.

With H100 and H200 GPUs, customers can take advantage of next-generation performance for training and inferencing large language models, data analytics, and advanced simulation workloads. Running these GPUs on ARO provides a consistent OpenShift experience across on-premises and cloud environments while leveraging Azure infrastructure for scalability, availability, and governance.

This capability helps customers standardize AI and accelerated computing workloads on OpenShift while reducing operational overhead through a managed service, making it easier to move from experimentation to production on Azure.
