NVIDIA Infra Controller v0.2 End of Life

NVIDIA Infra Controller v0.2 made the project available as open-source software and expanded its APIs, orchestration, and hardware lifecycle support.

APIs and orchestration

  • The REST API supports external identity providers for JWT authentication and batch instance creation through /nico/instance/batch.
  • Instances can be rebooted by instance_id as well as machine_id.
  • State handling is split between a PeriodicEnqueuer, which schedules work for managed resources, and a StateProcessor, which dequeues and runs state handlers.
  • State handlers are rescheduled immediately after a Transition outcome or a detected DPU version change, reducing waits for transitions such as WaitingForNetworkConfig by up to 30 seconds.

Provisioning and hardware management

  • Pre-ingestion sets the system time zone to UTC when the clock is out of sync so NTP timestamps are interpreted correctly.
  • The Scout agent can securely erase NVMe devices asynchronously.
  • NVLink interfaces enter Pending while updates are sent, and NVLink Logical Partition inventory metadata updates are more reliable.
  • DpuExtensionService supports name for orderBy, and ExpectedMachine objects support bulk creation and updates.

Platform update and bug fix

The Go toolchain was updated to v1.25.4 and nv-redfish to v0.1.3. The nv-redfish update fixes a critical BMC cache bug that caused repeated cache misses and prevented health-monitor rediscovery.
