Drivers distribution service

A centralized service that delivers pre-built WEKA kernel drivers for supported Linux distributions, eliminating manual compilation while ensuring consistent deployment across environments.

Overview

The Drivers Distribution Service (DDS) streamlines WEKA deployment by providing pre-built kernel drivers for supported Linux distributions. It automatically delivers appropriate drivers during installation of WEKA clusters and clients, eliminating the need for manual compilation or configuration.

By ensuring consistent driver availability across supported environments, DDS enables cluster and client pods to initialize and operate correctly with minimal administrative overhead.
