# Proposal: Infrastructure Upkeep & Advanced Operations Documentation for Akash Providers

## Overview
This proposal aims to enhance Akash’s existing documentation by focusing on advanced infrastructure upkeep and operational tasks. These tasks are crucial for Akash providers to maintain their systems, manage certificate rotations, troubleshoot GPU-related issues, and perform advanced operations efficiently. Comprehensive documentation will ensure that providers are well-equipped to handle complex infrastructure management tasks.

## Tasks

### 1. Maintaining and Rotating Kubernetes/etcd Certificates: A How-To Guide
- **Objective**: Provide a detailed, step-by-step guide on maintaining and rotating Kubernetes/etcd certificates, including best practices and common troubleshooting tips.
- **Benefit**: Ensures providers can securely manage and rotate their Kubernetes/etcd certificates, keeping their systems safe from potential security risks associated with expired certificates.

### 2. Provider Bid Script Migration for GPU Model Pricing
- **Objective**: Create documentation to guide providers through migrating their bid scripts to support new GPU model pricing.
- **Benefit**: Helps providers update their bid scripts to accommodate new GPU pricing models, ensuring they remain competitive and compliant with Akash’s pricing strategies.

### 3. GPU Provider Troubleshooting
- **Objective**: Document a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for GPU providers, covering common issues related to resource allocation, configuration, and performance optimization.
- **Benefit**: Provides GPU providers with the necessary tools to troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly, ensuring the reliability and performance of GPU-based deployments on Akash.

## Estimated Effort

- **Total Time**: 2 hours  
- **Rate**: $40/hour  
- **Total Budget**: $80
