Add links to plugin guide because its buried under Docs -> Internal. At least one user couldn't find it: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/nomad-tool/5sR8MTGZFrM/8bOExpcJAgAJ Link from: - Devices index - Devices community page - Drivers index - Drivers community page I erred on the side of over-linking because it's just a single concise sentence and I'd hate for people to struggle finding the guide. Also remove some very old (4 years!) and confusing docs from the driver index page.

# Device Plugins
|
|
|
|
Device plugins are used to detect and make devices available to tasks in Nomad.
|
|
Devices are physical hardware that exists on a node such as a GPU or an FPGA. 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.
|
|
|
|
The list of supported device plugins is provided on the left of this page.
|
|
Each device plugin documents its configuration and installation requirements,
|
|
the attributes it fingerprints, and the environment variables it exposes to
|
|
tasks.
|
|
|
|
For details on authoring a device plugin, please refer to the [plugin authoring
|
|
guide][plugin_guide].
