    Production-Grade Container Scheduling and Management

  • There's been several attempts at fixing this, and to my knowledge https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/107598 is the most recent attempt at solving this type of problem, but is currently not really resolved.

  • nvidia-patch

    This patch removes restriction on maximum number of simultaneous NVENC video encoding sessions imposed by Nvidia to consumer-grade GPUs.

  • Either you get an intel cpu for quicksync to handle a lot of transcode (8th gen+) or get a nvidia card (pascal or above) and use the unlock script at startup (https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch).
