How to refresh evidenceRun on a cluster matching the recipe's aicr snapshot -o snapshot.yaml
# Profiled families (AKS/GKE gpuStack): hydrate the recipe with the
# pointer's recorded 'profile:' selection first — validating the raw
# overlay resolves only the declaration default, and 'aicr validate'
# has no --profile flag. AKS additionally needs the pool projection
# (GKE uses the plain snapshot above):
# az aks nodepool list -g <rg> --cluster-name <cluster> -o json > pools.json
# aicr snapshot --aks-gpu-pools pools.json -o snapshot.yaml
# aicr recipe -s snapshot.yaml --intent <intent> [--platform <platform>] \
# --profile <name>=<value> -o recipe.yaml
# State the target leaf's intent/platform explicitly (the snapshot
# fingerprint supplies service/accelerator/OS but intent and platform
# default to 'any') and pass -r recipe.yaml below instead of the raw
# overlay.
aicr validate \
-r recipes/overlays/<slug>.yaml \

--push ghcr.io/<your-fork>/aicr-evidence

Request changes: five verified merge blockers in the GKE A4X network model and ownership, health validation, supply-chain pinning, and scheduling scope. CI is green on this head but does not cover these failure directions. One additional documentation mismatch is inline. The branch being behind main is mechanical and separate.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds GB200 GKE COS inference and training recipes for generic, Dynamo, Kubeflow, and Slurm workloads. Adds the GKE GB200 RDMA component, NCCL gIB installer, health checks, and rendering tests.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/integrator/gke-gb200-networking.md`:
- Around line 95-97: Update the networking documentation sentence to describe
a4x-highgpu-4g recipes generated with the gpuStack=driver-installer option,
rather than pools built with that option. Keep gpu-driver-version=disabled
stated separately as the node-pool prerequisite.
In `@recipes/components/gke-gb200-rdma/manifests/nccl-gib-installer-arm64.yaml`:
- Around line 87-90: Remove the unused nvidia-dir volume declaration from the
pod manifest; no container mounts it, so do not retain its hostPath
precondition. If the volume is intentionally required by the upstream vendored
configuration, keep it and add a comment documenting that rationale.
In `@recipes/gke_gb200_rdma_test.go`:

TestGB200RDMAInstallerAcceleratedNodeSelectorScopesRender and
TestGB200RDMAInstallerNoAcceleratedNodeSelectorOmitsField into one table-driven
test covering present and absent acceleratedNodeSelector values. Define per-case
values and expected selector state, render through renderGB200RDMAInstaller, and
retain assertions for both the rendered selector contents and omission when
unset.
- Around line 45-48: Update the pod-spec lookup before the final assertion to
validate each nested map conversion for doc["spec"], its "template", and the
template's "spec"; on any missing or incorrectly typed level, call t.Fatalf with
the rendered manifest and avoid chained type assertions that can panic. Preserve
the existing successful extraction into spec.
In `@recipes/overlays/gb200-gke-cos-training-kubeflow.yaml`:
- Around line 38-47: The kubeflow-trainer component reference currently includes
only the generic distributed training runtime, so add the GB200 NVLS-specific
runtime manifest with its IMEX resourceClaims wiring. Ensure the overlay also
provisions or references the matching ComputeDomain and ResourceClaimTemplate,
and registers any required manifest or dependency references alongside
kubeflow-trainer.

Two entries had drifted from already-merged, unrelated changes: the ocp-inference recipe was renamed to ocp-inference-nim, and the H100 GKE Kubeflow/Slurm leaves picked up an extra deployment check. Neither is related to the GB200 GKE work in this branch; refreshing here since the doc generator only rewrites the whole table at once. Signed-off-by: Mike Cook <micook@nvidia.com>

…oyments
The Kubeflow Trainer/JobSet controller-manager Deployments ship with no
tolerations. On a cluster where every node pool carries a taint (e.g. an
arch-tainted GPU pool plus a system pool GKE reserves for its own managed
components once no untainted pool remains), the controllers have nowhere
to schedule and installTrainer times out waiting for a Deployment that can
never become Ready.
applyControllerTolerations stamps a blanket tolerate-all onto the Trainer
and JobSet controller-manager Deployments specifically (by name) when
either has no existing tolerations; a Deployment that already declares
tolerations, or any other Deployment in the manifest set, is left
untouched. Scoping by name rather than by Kind alone matters here: this
is called for every Deployment decoded from the installer's manifest set,
and a future addition to that set must not silently inherit a blanket
{operator: Exists} it never asked for.
Extract the repeated "operator" toleration-key literal into keyOperator to
satisfy golangci-lint's goconst threshold across the package.

On cold start, the Kubeflow Trainer controller-manager's cert-controller sidecar provisions its webhook cert via a get-or-create against the API server; racing that against a not-yet-synced informer cache produces a resourceVersion conflict on the update. This is expected behavior under cert-controller's optimistic-concurrency retry, not a defect in Trainer or in this validator. The sidecar's own reconcile loop retries and self-heals unassisted. Each retry adds latency, though, and on a slow cold start the cumulative delay can push first-ready past the old 2-minute budget, failing the validator's readiness wait for a controller that was already recovering on its own. Widen to 3 minutes so the wait accommodates the expected retry latency instead of racing it. Signed-off-by: Mike Cook <micook@nvidia.com>
…VC create Some GPU node families can only attach a subset of a CSI provisioner's disk types (e.g. GKE's a4x-highgpu-4g nodes reject Persistent Disk entirely, including pd-balanced, and need Hyperdisk instead). Without a pre-flight check, the inference-perf model-cache PVC binds to an incompatible StorageClass and the workload just sits Pending until the populate-Job timeout, with no indication of the real cause. Add a rule-table (storageCompatibilityRules) keyed by provisioner and machine family, and check the cache PVC's resolved StorageClass (explicit override or cluster default) against the chosen node's instance-type family before creating it. An incompatible combination now fails immediately with the concrete remediation instead of a slow, opaque timeout. The table is provisioner/family-driven so a future incompatibility on another cloud can be added without touching the check logic itself. Also select the effective default StorageClass by CreationTimestamp when more than one is annotated default, matching the cluster's own DefaultStorageClass admission controller tie-break, and accept parameters.type=dynamic for GKE's pd.csi.storage.gke.io driver on a4x nodes alongside the hyperdisk- prefix, since dynamic always resolves to Hyperdisk on a node family that can't attach Persistent Disk.

Add the gb200-gke-cos-{training,training-kubeflow,training-slurm,
inference,inference-dynamo} recipe leaves, covering GB200 (A4X) on
GKE with COS. New gke-gb200-rdma component wires the NCCL gIB ARM64
plugin installer needed for GPUDirect-RDMA over RoCE, plus its
health check and BOM/tuning docs. The GKE multi-networking objects
(GKENetworkParamSet/Network: gvnic-1, rdma-0..rdma-3) are provisioned
with the cluster before the node pool exists, not by this component:
AICR treats them as a prerequisite and validates all 5 objects,
including deviceMode and parametersRef linkage, via health check.
GB200 on GKE is NVLS-only: MNNVL across the A4X nodes' IMEX domain is
the fabric that actually carries all-reduce traffic, so
nccl-all-reduce-bw-nvls (not the plain check) is wired into the
training leaves' performance phase, backed by a new runtime-nvls.yaml
TrainingRuntime template with IMEX ComputeDomain wiring. GPU NIC
discovery in the NCCL validator is skipped for this accelerator/service
pair since it uses the gke-gb200-rdma Network CRs instead of the TCPXO
gpu-nic-* fabric.
GB200 already has a Kubeflow leaf overlay on EKS and OKE; adds the
same kubeflow-trainer component here so GKE isn't the only GB200
platform missing one, giving robust-controller conformance a
supported operator to validate instead of always skipping.
Also adds a gb200-gke-cos-inference-dynamo leaf (grove + dynamo-platform,
DRA-gated to Kubernetes 1.34+), mirroring the GB200 EKS/OKE Dynamo
overlays' performance-gate thresholds until a GKE-specific baseline is
published. This turns the bare gb200-gke-cos-inference overlay from a
leaf into a base shared by both the plain and Dynamo inference leaves,
the same base/platform-variant pattern already used above for
training/training-kubeflow.
And a gb200-gke-cos-training-slurm leaf (Slinky operator + a
Slinky-managed Slurm cluster), mirroring gb200-eks-ubuntu-training-slurm's
GPU GRES, task isolation, and NVLS/IMEX ComputeDomain wiring for the same
4-GPU-per-node accelerator shape. Unlike the Kubeflow Trainer/JobSet
controllers above, Slinky's controller/restapi/nodeset Deployments already
go through AICR's ordinary nodeScheduling tolerationPaths, so this leaf
needs no Trainer-style toleration workaround.
Floor calibrated on a4x-highgpu-4g (4x GB200/node): 2-node/8-GPU
all_reduce_perf measured 281.936 GB/s avg bus bandwidth. Validated on
a live A4X cluster across conformance, deployment, and NVLS
performance for the training and training-kubeflow leaves.
gb200-gke-cos-inference-dynamo is validated across all three phases on
the same cluster: deployment, conformance, and performance (103,971
tokens/sec throughput, 1388.55ms TTFT p99). gb200-gke-cos-training-slurm
is validated through deployment and conformance, including the
GB200-specific slinky-slurm-imex-channel health check; its NVLS
performance phase has not yet been run. Signed evidence bundles for
both (Sigstore/Rekor, keyless OIDC) are pushed to
ghcr.io/mikecook/aicr-evidence with pointers committed under
recipes/evidence/, and the signer is added to the community allowlist.

Summary
Adds GB200 (A4X) recipes on GKE — bare training, Kubeflow training, Slurm training, and Dynamo inference — with NVLS-based NCCL bandwidth validation, plus two small validator fixes (controller toleration handling and readiness timeout) uncovered while qualifying it on real A4X hardware.
Motivation / Context
GB200 on GKE (A4X node pools) wasn't a supported recipe target. This adds the
gke-gb200-rdmacomponent (multi-networking + gIB NCCL plugin installer), COS training/inference overlays, and wires GB200-on-GKE into the NVLS NCCL all-reduce-bw validator path (GB200's NVLink/IMEX topology, not TCPXO). The two validator fixes were needed to get the Kubeflow Trainer-based NCCL check running reliably on a real GB200 cluster and are included here because they were discovered and fixed during that qualification.Fixes: N/A
