Mirantis k0rdent and NVIDIA BlueField: A Practical Blueprint for Building Next-Generation AI Infrastructure

AI workloads and accelerated computing often rely on very specific physical features of the infrastructure—not just access to GPUs, but also the complex systems that support them, such as accelerated networking and high-speed, high-throughput storage. These specialized resources represent a significant investment, making it essential to maximize return through efficient utilization and workload optimization. To achieve this, infrastructure must be defined and provisioned dynamically at every layer, while still maintaining strong security and isolation.
