The `nvidia-smi -L` command is then executed in the container using the GPU device. The output shows the GPU UUID. You can check the generated CDI specification within the container builder with the following command: ``` $ docker exec -it buildx_buildkit_gpubuilder0 cat /etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```text For the EC2 instance [`g4dn.xlarge`](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/g4/) used here, it looks like this: ``` … Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
