NVIDIA Infra Controller v2.0
NICo v2.0 expands bare-metal lifecycle management with built-in NTP, broader hardware telemetry, multi-architecture support, and stronger security and operational controls.
Before upgrading an existing deployment, review the REST API database migration requirements below.
Upgrade note: REST database consolidation
The NICo REST API database has moved from a standalone PostgreSQL instance to the shared Zalando-managed nico-pg-cluster. A new nico_rest database and nico-rest.nico user are provisioned automatically (gated on rest.enabled: true). Database credentials are now synced by External Secrets Operator as the nico-rest-pg-creds secret in the nico-rest namespace, replacing the former db-creds secret.
To upgrade from v0.x, do the following:
-
Back up the REST database from the old standalone PostgreSQL pod.
-
Run
./setup.sh --skip-restto provision the prerequisites and External Secrets without starting the REST chart or its migration job. -
Quiesce all writes to the existing REST API.
-
Restore the backup into
nico_restonnico-pg-cluster. -
Rerun
./setup.shwithout--skip-rest.The REST chart and
nico-rest-dbmigration job start only after the restore is complete.
NVIDIA Infra Controller v0.8
NVIDIA Infra Controller v0.8 introduced a unified documentation site, simplified deployment, and expanded rack-level administration for GB200 systems.
NVIDIA Infra Controller v0.2
NVIDIA Infra Controller v0.2 made the project available as open-source software and expanded its APIs, orchestration, and hardware lifecycle support.
NVIDIA Infra Controller EA
