About Alauda Build of NPU Operator
The Alauda Build of NPU Operator is a Kubernetes operator that automatically manages all software components needed to expose Ascend NPUs to Kubernetes for AI training and inference workloads. It reconciles the full software stack — Ascend driver and firmware, container runtime configuration, MindCluster device plugin, and optional NPU exporter — from a single NPUOperatorCtl custom resource.
With the NPU Operator installed, AI workloads can request huawei.com/Ascend910 or huawei.com/Ascend310P resources the same way they would any other Kubernetes resource.
