Mirantis, delivering Kubernetes-native infrastructure for AI, today announced alignment directly to NVIDIA's accelerated computing roadmap, ensuring operators can deploy with highest performance per watt and lowest token cost. k0rdent AI is a carrier-grade AI infrastructure and lifecycle management platform that helps organizations operationalize AI at scale, accelerating the process of going from racked hardware to consumable services. The day-zero support for current and next-generation NVIDIA architecture builds on prior integrations with the NVIDIA Infra Controller (NICo) and NVIDIA DSX OS.
Mirantis provides day-zero support for NVIDIA Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin architectures.
k0rdent AI integrates with NVIDIA DSX OS for standardized AI factories.
Full integration of NVIDIA NICo for bare-metal hardware discovery and lifecycle automation.
Mirantis is primary open source infrastructure contributor to NICo upstream.
Inaugural partner for NVIDIA AI Cloud Ready validation initiative.
Enables continuous architecture readiness without redesigning infrastructure stacks.
Unlike traditional infrastructure platforms, Mirantis k0rdent AI enables continuous architecture readiness. Operators deploying on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell now can move forward to NVIDIA Vera Rubin and beyond without redesigning infrastructure stacks, changing operational models, or rebuilding provisioning workflows. This model is particularly critical for neocloud providers and enterprise AI infrastructure teams making long-horizon purchasing decisions.
At the foundation of this capability is Mirantis' full integration of NVIDIA NICo as the primary provisioning and infrastructure lifecycle layer for k0rdent AI. NICo automates bare-metal hardware discovery, firmware validation, NVIDIA BlueField DPU provisioning through NVIDIA DOCA, network isolation, tenant sanitization, and secure lifecycle automation for multi-tenant AI environments. Mirantis has integrated NICo into k0rdent AI as a fully supported, validated, production-ready platform.
Mirantis is not simply integrating NICo downstream, it is actively helping shape the project upstream. As a primary open source infrastructure contributor to NICo, Mirantis works closely with NVIDIA to define how AI datacenter provisioning evolves across future accelerated computing platforms. Additionally, Mirantis is an inaugural partner for NVIDIA AI Cloud Ready, a validation initiative that qualifies and validates AI infrastructure software for deployment on AI clouds.
Kevin Kamel, vice president of product management at Mirantis, stated: "AI infrastructure is now a multi-generation investment strategy with AI factories representing a fundamental shift in how infrastructure is designed and operated. The combination of k0rdent AI and NVIDIA delivers lifecycle automation for a fully integrated, enterprise-ready platform that is future-proofed to deliver AI factories."
