<p>i followed the instructions to install <a href="https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker" rel="nofollow noreferrer">nvidia-docker 2</a> and then installed kubernetes 1.10 via kubeadm (on rhel7): i did the following:</p>

<pre><code>curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/rhel7.4/nvidia-docker.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/nvidia-docker.repo
yum update

<p>i can even schedule gpu'd containers and see all gpus from within the container.</p>

<p>however, when i deploy a container with:</p>

<pre><code>resources:
    limits:
        nvidia.com/gpu: 1
</code></pre>

<p>the pods remain as:</p>

<pre><code>jupyter         jupyterlab-gpu                 0/1       Pending     0          1m        &lt;none&gt;           &lt;none&gt;

</code></pre>

<p>i am able to schedule containers to the node without the gpu resource limit without issues.</p>

<p>is there a way i can validate that kubectl (?) can 'see' the gpus?</p>

<p>You can view nodes detail via <code>kubectl get nodes -oyaml</code>, <code>nvidia.com/gpu</code> resources will be listed under <code>status.allocatable</code> and <code>status.capacity</code> alongside with cpu and memory</p>
