Manage Kubernetes Node Fleets with NodeWright

NodeWright is an open‑source, Kubernetes‑native package manager that declaratively configures host operating systems on GPU clusters while preserving workloads; its operator cordons nodes, drains pending pods, applies packages, and re‑uncords them, respecting PodDisruptionBudgets and non‑interruptible labels. DeploymentPolicy resources enable progressive rollouts across node groups using fixed, linear, or exponential batch strategies with configurable success/failure thresholds. The package system handles host‑level tasks such as kernel tuning, CVE remediation, security agent installation, and crash‑dump configuration, integrates with NVIDIA AI Cluster Runtime, NVCRE, and NVSentinel, and can be deployed via Helm for a streamlined workflow.
