Support Matrix#
This page is the version-pinned support matrix for NVIDIA AI Enterprise Infrastructure Release 4.6. Use it before you install or upgrade to confirm that your GPUs, networking, system platform, operating system, hypervisor or cloud, and orchestration stack are supported on this release. It covers the deployment prerequisites, supported NVIDIA infrastructure software components and versions, qualified GPUs and networking products, and the operating systems, hypervisors, Kubernetes distributions, and cloud instance types validated for bare metal, virtualized, and public cloud deployments.
If you need to compare configurations across releases (4.4 through 4.6) or filter by deployment type, OS, hypervisor, or orchestration, use the Interactive Support Matrix instead. For a summary of new features and updated component versions in this release, see the Release Notes.
Prerequisites#
Supported configurations require all of the following.
On-Premises Servers
GPU supported by NVIDIA AI Enterprise (and optionally a supported networking card)
Supported infrastructure management software - bare-metal or virtualized (OS, orchestration platform, hypervisor)
