Summary
Restore a security-patched R580/vGPU 19.6 LTS option for A10 instead of publishing R595 through both GRID image variants.
grid/aks-gpu-grid: 580.178.04, using Azure's official vGPU 19.6 installer.grid_v20/aks-gpu-grid-v20: 595.91.07, unchanged.Latest/Archivearrays andDriversfield, select the highest numeric version in the requested branch, and fail rather than switch branches, downgrade, or accept a mismatched installer URL.Related: #195. This is the producer change, not a completed AKS node-image rollout.
Compatibility basis
Azure's Linux GRID support matrix lists:
AgentBaker already separates its A10 GRID path (
aks-gpu-grid) from NCv6 (aks-gpu-grid-v20). A documented GRID option does not require changing an existing CUDA compute SKU to GRID; that separate selection is not changed here.Isaac Sim evidence and limitations
Isaac Sim v5.1.0's dependency manifest pins Kit SDK 107.3.3. The linked upstream explanation says this Kit version does not support 59x drivers; official requirements list R580-tested drivers.
This is not a guarantee that every Isaac Sim workload works on the exact Azure GRID build. The separate physical-GPU/MIG identifier bug in the NCv6 reproduction requires newer Kit and can persist even with a supported driver. No A10 Isaac Sim renderer run is claimed.
Validation
git diff --checkpass.580.178.04and R595 to595.91.07, with the official Azure installer URLs.580.178.04installer URL returns HTTP 200.Required AgentBaker follow-up
There is currently no published R580 tag in
mcr.microsoft.com/aks/aks-gpu-grid. Publication from the normal main-branch workflow must happen before AgentBaker can pin a real R580 image.After publication, update AgentBaker's
GPUContainerImagesentry to the actual R580 tag and constrain Renovate'saks/aks-gpu-gridupdates to R580. Existing R595 tags must not win version selection for the A10 LTS path. Add exact-version GPU E2E assertions and validate the published image before rollout.This PR does not change AgentBaker, merge existing upgrade PRs, publish from an unmerged branch, or update customer nodes.
