Nomad device driver plugins

Use device driver plugins to detect physical hardware devices, such as graph processing units (GPUs), a field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and universal serial buses (USBs), on your Nomad clients. You can then use those devices in your Nomad workloads.

By having extensible device plugins, Nomad has the flexibility to support a broad set of devices and allows the community to build additional device plugins as needed.
