Enhancement Exception Request: Disable AcceleratorUsage Metrics

[Renaud Gaubert]

Hello!

I'm sending this request for the following feature:

• Enhancement name: Disable AcceleratorUsage Metrics
• Enhancement status: Alpha
• SIG: sig-node
• k/enhancements repo issue: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/1867
• PR: The single following PR, https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/91930
• Additional time needed: None, PR is ready to review and merge, filing this because we missed the Enhancements window
• Reason this enhancement is critical for this milestone: Currently customers do not have any knobs to turn off Accelerator metrics.
  However when Accelerator Metrics are collected, it causes significant hurdles when dealing with "outside kubernetes infrastructure" (e.g: need to kill kubelet when updating the NVIDIA driver).
• Risks from adding code late: (to k8s stability, testing, etc.): Low to None, feature is behind a new feature flag and feature is trivial (26 lines including adding the feature flag)
• Risks from cutting enhancement: Customers need to face significant infrastructure hurdles to the customer for an additional release.

Note that at first we expected this to be a kubelet config knob and did not think this would require a KEP, which is why we missed the enhancement freeze.

Thanks for reviewing, let me know if you need more information 🙂 !
