Is there a way to disable GPU for CPU pods?

Question

I am running a GPU server by referring to this document. I have found that GPU is used in DL work with Jupyter notebook by creating a virtual environment of CPU pod on the GPU node as shown below.

Obviously there is no nvidia.com/GPU entry in Limits, Requests, so I don't understand that GPU is used.

Limits:
cpu: 2
memory: 2000Mi
Requests:
cpu: 2
memory: 2000Mi

Thank you.

Based on this topic on github:

This is currently not supported and we don't really have a plan to support it.

But...

you might want to take a look at the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES environment variable that controls what devices a specific CUDA process can see:
