Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery.

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that allows developers and operators to more easily package, configure, and deploy applications and services onto Kubernetes clusters.

The InAccel FPGA Operator is a Helm chart deployed, cloud-native method to standardize and automate the deployment of all necessary components for provisioning FPGA-enabled Kubernetes systems.

The operator delivers InAccel Coral, as a universal FPGA accelerator orchestration and monitoring layer, to automate scalability and lifecycle management of containerized FPGA applications on Kubernetes.

$ helm repo add inaccel https://setup.inaccel.com/helm

$ helm install inaccel inaccel/fpga-operator — set license=…

The FPGA operator also allows IT teams to manage remote FPGA-powered servers the same way they manage CPU-based systems. This makes it easy to bring up a fleet of remote systems and run accelerated applications without additional technical expertise on the ground.
