| Profile 2 : VA Enablement Node Profile | 1. Enabled GPU drivers for Xeon platforms 2. Introduced separate sets of AI Box Docker files and Docker validators for each supported platform, incorporating the necessary GPU/CPU enablement in the Release service. Included support for the Alder lake platform in AI Box Docker image build and validation. 3. Enhanced the installer to set "6.6-intel" as the default kernel, which remains the default even after a reboot. 4. Resolved DL-Streamer Docker build failures by generating separate installation scripts for each platform, addressing the required GPU/CPU enablement. 5. Implemented functionality to handle the expiration of the External Release service token and automatically re-authenticate using a refresh token. 6. Added dynamic geo-location detection and automatic GitHub mirror updates specifically for the PRC region. |
| Profile 3 : RT Enablement Node Profile | 1. Enabled Observability Stack: Integrated the Observability Stack along with the ECI packages. 2. Installed the observability components (Platform-Observability-agent (covers, Otel, fluentbit, telegraf) Prometheus, Grafana, cAdvisor). 3. Installed Docker Images: Installed Docker images for Grafana, Loki, and Promtail. |
