Container Service for Kubernetes:ack-cgpu component and changelog

Last Updated:Sep 23, 2025

ack-cgpu is a component that enables GPU sharing and scheduling in ACK dedicated clusters. It provides a GPU sharing framework that allows multiple containers to share the same physical GPU, which helps reduce operational costs. This topic describes the release history for ack-cgpu.

Usage notes

  • You can install the ack-cgpu component only on ACK dedicated clusters from the Marketplace page in the console.

  • The cluster must be version 1.18.8 or later.
