+### Affinity Towards Specific GPU Devices
+
+This example uses affinity to indicate scheduling preference towards specific
+GPU devices, using their UUID as selection criteria. Since devices are
+fingerprinted as a group, you may specify multiple IDs as a comma separated
+list.
+
+```hcl
+device "nvidia/gpu" {
+  affinity {
+    attribute = "${device.ids}"
+    operator  = "set_contains"
+    value     = "9afa5da1-8f39-25a2-48dc-ba31fd7c0023,c248b547-fed7-4d67-ade5-73a27d280ac4"
+  }
