Repository move notice

On September 4, 2026, the NICo repository moved from the NVIDIA GitHub organization to dsx-ai-factory/infra-controller. Existing repository URLs and standard Git operations continue to work through GitHub redirects. If you maintain automation or integrations that reference NVIDIA/infra-controller, such as GitHub Actions, webhooks, or pinned repository URLs, update them to dsx-ai-factory/infra-controller.

NICo is an open source suite of microservices for site-local, zero-trust bare-metal lifecycle management. It automates hardware discovery, firmware validation, DPU provisioning, network isolation, and tenant sanitization — enabling NVIDIA Cloud Partners (NCPs) and infrastructure operators to stand up and operate AI factory-scale infrastructure.

NICo is open source under the Apache 2.0 license.
