Container Device Interface
Overview

The Container Device Interface (CDI) is a standardized specification for exposing specialized hardware devices, such as AMD GPUs, to containers in a runtime-agnostic manner. This works consistently across different container runtimes.

CDI eliminates the need for runtime-specific hooks or shims, like amd-container-runtime, by allowing container runtimes to natively understand and inject device resources into containers.

The amd-ctk tool provides commands to generate and manage CDI specifications for AMD GPU devices on your system.

Prerequisites

Before using CDI with AMD GPUs, ensure:

AMD GPU drivers are properly installed on the host system
The amd-ctk tool is installed
Your container runtime supports CDI

Any experience to get it running?
