Hi folks,

I would like to request a 7-day extension to merge the PR https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/pull/16556  implementing VEP 10: Support for GPU DRA devices in KubeVirt.

The PR re-works the implementation in v1.6 to with a more robust solution using downward API. The downward API standard is currently under review in the kubernetes community: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/137086. Merging of this kubernetes PR is currently blocking kubevirt work. 

The feature itself will stay in alpha, it will be hidden behind a feature gate, hence the risk of delayed merging is minimal.

It would be great to give some more time for this feature to make it in v1.8.

Thanks,
Alay

Hi Alay,

Being this stays in Alpha and is just rework I don't see a reason to object.
Given the low risk I suggest Monday the 9th be the last day for this to be merged.

Regards,
Luboslav
