watsonx Orchestrate, watsonx.ai and watsox Discovery to support vGPU running on virtualized environments on OpenShift (private hybrid cloud)

We need watsonx on prem to support vGPU on virtualized environments on OpenShift (private hybrid cloud).

Customer is forced to deploy watsonx components on promise using vGPU. Passthrough is not an option (internal policy for many italian customers). This can cause the loss of opportunities we're working on.
