Differences Between Container and Binary Deployment

**Table 1** Differences between the two component installation methods
Component	Installation Method	Difference
NPU-Exporter	Binary	Deployed on physical machines as system services. After the capability is configured, the common user (hwMindX) can run the capability.
NPU-Exporter	Container	Uses Kubernetes as the scheduling management platform and requires the privileged container and root user.
Ascend Device Plugin	Binary	Deployed on physical machines as system services. After the capability is configured, the common user (hwMindX) can run the capability. When Volcano is used, you do not have the permission to access Kubernetes. You need to import the KubeConfig file.
Ascend Device Plugin	Container	Uses Kubernetes as the scheduling management platform and requires the privileged container and root user. When Volcano is used, both the ServiceAccount and the KubeConfig file can be used.
