Summary

The deployment-phase Nodewright readiness gate now reads the nodewright.nvidia.com/v1alpha1 NodeWright CR (falling back to the legacy Skyhook for pre-v0.18.0 operators) and gates on the runtime-required taint the operator is actually configured with, read from its Deployment, instead of a hardcoded skyhook.nvidia.com key.

Motivation / Context

nodewright-operator v0.18.0 (the registry pin since #2355) renames Skyhook to NodeWright, mirrors each legacy CR into a NodeWright, and writes status.status only on the NodeWright. The validator and the chainsaw health check both read the legacy kind, so a fully tuned cluster timed out after the 8m poll budget.

The same release also moved the chart default runtimeRequiredTaint from skyhook.nvidia.com=… to nodewright.nvidia.com=…. The validator's taint gate only looked for the old key, so on a default v0.18.0 deploy it was silently a no-op (reopening the #1775 false-pass window), and it was already a no-op for any custom --workload-gate value. --workload-gate is applied at bundle time and never reaches the recipe the validator Job is handed, so the validator now reads the configured taint from the operator Deployment's RUNTIME_REQUIRED_TAINT env.

Fixes: #2593
Related: #2594, #2595, #2568, #2599 (Deployment lookup by label for out-of-band installs)

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • Documentation update

Component(s) Affected

  • Bundlers (pkg/bundler, pkg/component/*)
  • Validator (pkg/validator)
  • Docs/examples (docs/, examples/)
  • Other: validators/deployment, recipes/checks/nodewright-*

Implementation Notes

  • CR kind: resolveNodewrightGVR discovery-gates nodewright.nvidia.com/v1alpha1 first, falls back to skyhook.nvidia.com/v1alpha1, skips only when neither group is served (preserves Enhance deployment-phase validation to reflect post-install workload readiness #607), and fails closed on any non-NotFound discovery error. Name extraction accepts kind: NodeWright as well as kind: Skyhook, so the manifests can be renamed later (nodewright v0.18.0 upgrade changed the CR status contract (Skyhook -> NodeWright); legacy status never populates #2594) without touching the validator.
  • Taint gate: runtimeRequiredTaints reads RUNTIME_REQUIRED_TAINT from the skyhook-operator-controller-manager Deployment and gates on that taint (key, value and effect) plus the legacy skyhook.nvidia.com=runtime-required:NoSchedule the operator still removes during its deprecation window — the same recognised set the operator itself uses. Falls back to the two chart defaults when the Deployment or env is absent; fails closed on any other read error or an unparseable value. Any arbitrary --workload-gate value is therefore honoured.
  • Chart default left alone: the operator values are not pinned to the legacy key. Node pools that pre-taint with skyhook.nvidia.com should pass --workload-gate skyhook.nvidia.com=runtime-required:NoSchedule so auto-tainted and pre-tainted nodes carry one key (documented in docs/integrator/components/nodewright.md and the CLI reference). The v0.18.0 operator still tolerates, removes, and never double-taints the legacy key, so unflagged internal clusters still converge.
  • Chainsaw health checks: nodewright-customizations asserts NodeWright status.status: complete (a static assert cannot fall back, and the registry pins v0.18.0 — this couples to the recipes: downgrade nodewright-operator pin to v0.17.x to restore the Skyhook status contract #2595 disposition); nodewright-operator additionally asserts the nodewrights.nodewright.nvidia.com CRD is Established. Catalog goldens regenerated.
  • Helm deploy script: the stale-taint cleanup covers both default keys when the bundle sets no runtimeRequiredTaint, and the configured key plus the legacy key when it does. The "is the operator running" guard now selects the Deployment on app.kubernetes.io/name=nodewright,control-plane=controller-manager; the previous app.kubernetes.io/name=skyhook-operator label is rendered by neither chart version, so the guard never matched and a deploy.sh re-run stripped live taints.
  • Out of scope: renaming the Skyhook manifests to NodeWright (nodewright v0.18.0 upgrade changed the CR status contract (Skyhook -> NodeWright); legacy status never populates #2594 / design doc 021).

Testing

make qualify
go test -race -count=1 ./validators/deployment/
golangci-lint run -c .golangci.yaml ./validators/... ./pkg/defaults/...
AICR_UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 go test ./pkg/recipe/ ./pkg/bundler/ -count=1
go test ./pkg/bundler/deployer/helm/ -update
make bom-docs   # no drift
make tuning-check

New unit coverage: v0.18.0 shape (both groups registered, legacy status empty, NodeWright complete → pass; NodeWright in_progress gates even when the legacy copy says complete), legacy-only fallback, neither-registered skip, configured-taint derivation (custom env, legacy env dedupe, namespace resolution, env absent, Deployment absent, unparseable env, non-NotFound read error), end-to-end gate on a custom taint, and kind: NodeWright name extraction.

Coverage: validators/deployment: 71.4% → 72.9% (+1.5%).

Live check: ran the generic GB300 recipe (generic-gb300-ubuntu-training, #2568) end to end on a bare-metal GB300 NVL72 cluster (2 system + 2 GPU nodes) with this head merged in: fresh deploy.sh install of all 14 components including nodewright-operator v0.18.0, then aicr validate with validator images built from the merged tree. deployment 4/4, conformance 5/5, performance 1/1 (NVLS all-reduce 842.63 GB/s vs the >= 823 floor). Details in the comment below.

Risk Assessment

  • Low — Isolated change, well-tested, easy to revert

Rollout notes: No recipe or bundle output changes apart from the health-check content (catalog digests). Clusters on v0.17.x keep working through the Skyhook fallback and the legacy taint match. Clusters deployed between #2355 and this fix carry the nodewright.nvidia.com taint on auto-tainted nodes; the gate now recognises it.

Checklist

  • Tests pass locally (make test with -race)
  • Linter passes (make lint)
  • I did not skip/disable tests to make CI green
  • I added/updated tests for new functionality
  • I updated docs if user-facing behavior changed
  • Changes follow existing patterns in the codebase
  • Commits are cryptographically signed (git commit -S) — GPG signing info

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The deployment validator now prefers NodeWright resources and falls back to Skyhook resources. It resolves runtime-required taints from the operator Deployment and gates readiness on taint clearance. Helm cleanup removes current and legacy stale taints. Health checks, documentation, tests, fixtures, generated parity files, and taint validation were updated.

Live v0.18.0 check

Ran this fix end to end with the generic GB300 recipe (generic-gb300-ubuntu-training from #2568) on a bare-metal GB300 NVL72 cluster with 2 system nodes and 2 GPU nodes, using a temporary branch that merges #2568 with this head (3936cf4d). The previous deployment was fully uninstalled first, so this is a fresh install.

Deploy. aicr recipe --service generic --intent training from a live snapshot → aicr bundle with the cluster's system/GPU selectors and tolerations → deploy.sh. All 14 components installed, including nodewright-operator v0.18.0 with the chart-default runtimeRequiredTaint (so the operator env is nodewright.nvidia.com=runtime-required:NoSchedule) and the no-op nodewright-customizations. ClusterPolicy and NicClusterPolicy both ready; each GPU node advertises nvidia.com/gpu: 4 and rdma/ib: 64.

The cluster shape is exactly the v0.18.0 case this PR targets: the mirrored NodeWright no-op carries status.status: complete, the legacy Skyhook no-op has an empty status, and the runtime-required taint was applied and then cleared from both GPU nodes by the operator.

Validate. Validator images built from the merged tree (arm64) and pinned via AICR_VALIDATOR_IMAGE_REGISTRY / AICR_VALIDATOR_IMAGE_TAG so the in-cluster validator carries this change:

Phase Result
deployment 4/4 passed (operator-health, expected-resources, gpu-operator-version, check-nvidia-smi)
conformance 5/5 passed (platform-health, gpu-operator-health, dra-support, accelerator-metrics, ai-service-metrics)
performance 1/1 passed, nccl-all-reduce-bw-nvls 842.63 GB/s against the >= 823 floor

expected-resources output for the new gate:

Namespace skyhook: Active
Nodewright runtime-required taint gate: nodewright.nvidia.com=runtime-required:NoSchedule, skyhook.nvidia.com=runtime-required:NoSchedule (from Deployment skyhook/skyhook-operator-controller-manager env RUNTIME_REQUIRED_TAINT)
Nodewright: polling nodewrights.nodewright.nvidia.com
Nodewright no-op: complete (stable ≥1m0s)
Nodewright runtime-required taint (nodewright.nvidia.com=runtime-required:NoSchedule, skyhook.nvidia.com=runtime-required:NoSchedule): cleared from all nodes (stable ≥1m0s)

Both failures reported on #2568 (no REST mapping for skyhook.nvidia.com/v1alpha1, Kind=Skyhook and namespace skyhook: not found) are gone with this fix in place. The updated nodewright-operator / nodewright-customizations chainsaw health checks (CRD Established, NodeWright status.status: complete) also passed as part of expected-resources. Flipping out of draft; I'll re-run full-phase evidence for #2568 once this merges.

Addresses the three review findings on #2597.

The registry health checks are hydrated independently of the resolved chart
version and named the NodeWright kind, which a v0.17.x operator does not
serve, so the advertised Skyhook fallback failed deployment validation on a
healthy legacy cluster. The operator check no longer asserts the nodewrights
CRD (both charts render skyhooks), and the deployment validator skips the
customizations assert when discovery resolves to the legacy group only, where
the Go readiness check already verifies each Skyhook by name. A discovery
error still fails closed.

The deploy.sh stale-taint cleanup turned every kubectl read failure into
"operator not running" and then stripped live runtime-required taints. It is
now a function that skips with a warning on any read error, holds the keys in
an array, and matches taint keys exactly, so a configured key can neither
word-split nor prefix-match an unrelated taint. tools/deploy-sh-taint-cleanup_test.sh
drives the rendered function with a stubbed kubectl and pins which
kubectl taint calls each path issues.

snapshotter.ParseTaint now enforces the Kubernetes taint rules (qualified-name
key, label-value syntax) on every public --workload-gate path, so a malformed
key is rejected at bundle time instead of reaching the script.

Resolve the live operator Deployment before reading its environment. runtimeRequiredTaints always requests skyhook-operator-controller-manager, but the VR200 RKE2 reference installation renders nodewright-controller-manager. The lookup returns NotFound, so validation uses default taints and ignores RUNTIME_REQUIRED_TAINT. Apply Deployment-name resolution at the shared lookup boundary.

…both default taints on fresh deploy

Follow-up to the review on #2597.

The legacy Skyhook fallback had no explicit pre-rename signal, so a v0.18.0
cluster missing its own nodewright.nvidia.com CRD would read a stale legacy
Skyhook as ready. resolveNodewrightGVR now takes the recipe's
nodewright-operator pin as that signal: below v0.18.0 (or no usable pin) the
legacy group is read; v0.18.0 or later with only skyhook.nvidia.com served
fails closed. The chainsaw-assert skip follows the same rule.

deploy.sh's stale-taint cleanup distinguishes an absent operator Deployment
(fresh deploy) from one with zero available replicas: on a fresh deploy the
previous install may have tainted with either default key, so both defaults
are cleaned alongside the configured key, since the incoming operator never
removes a stale nodewright.nvidia.com taint on its own.

Re: CodeRabbit outside-diff finding on validators/deployment/expected_resources.go:86 (Deployment name resolution). Same finding as the earlier thread on this line, still deferred to #2599 as agreed there: for AICR bundles fullnameOverride: skyhook-operator fixes the name, and the label-based lookup belongs with the name-agnostic operator chainsaw check in one change.

Rebased onto main (the merge gate reported the branch behind after #2524 landed). Force-pushed with --force-with-lease --force-if-includes: old tip ea12ff8 → new tip fc290f7. The four commits replayed identically (git range-diff shows = for each), goldens and BOM regenerated with no drift, so inline anchors move but content is unchanged.

- Around line 300-301: Update the Deployment lookup and fresh_deploy logic in
the deploy script so identity is queried separately from availableReplicas; mark
fresh_deploy only when the Deployment name is absent, not when availability is
empty. Preserve configured and legacy taint handling for existing Deployments,
regenerate the golden fixture, and add coverage for an existing Deployment with
empty availability asserting only those two taint keys are removed.

nodewright-operator v0.18.0 (the registry pin) renames Skyhook to
NodeWright and writes status only on the NodeWright, so the deployment
gate timed out on the never-populated legacy status. The validator now
polls nodewright.nvidia.com/v1alpha1 NodeWright, falling back to Skyhook
for older operators, and the chainsaw health check asserts NodeWright.

The same release moved the chart's default runtimeRequiredTaint to the
nodewright.nvidia.com key. The taint gate now reads the configured taint
from the operator Deployment's RUNTIME_REQUIRED_TAINT env (the only place
a bundle-time --workload-gate value is visible to the validator Job) and
gates on it plus the legacy skyhook.nvidia.com taint the operator still
removes, instead of a hardcoded key.

Fixes #2593

…n cleanup

The stale-taint guard selected the operator Deployment with
app.kubernetes.io/name=skyhook-operator, a label neither the v0.17.0 nor the
v0.18.0 nodewright chart renders, so the guard never saw a running operator
and every deploy.sh re-run stripped live runtime-required taints. Select on
app.kubernetes.io/name=nodewright,control-plane=controller-manager, which
both charts set regardless of fullnameOverride.

When a bundle configures runtimeRequiredTaint, the cleanup now also covers
the legacy skyhook.nvidia.com key, matching the set the validator gate waits
on, so a stale legacy taint cannot outlive the fresh-deploy cleanup.

…anup closed

Addresses the three review findings on #2597.

The registry health checks are hydrated independently of the resolved chart
version and named the NodeWright kind, which a v0.17.x operator does not
serve, so the advertised Skyhook fallback failed deployment validation on a
healthy legacy cluster. The operator check no longer asserts the nodewrights
CRD (both charts render skyhooks), and the deployment validator skips the
customizations assert when discovery resolves to the legacy group only, where
the Go readiness check already verifies each Skyhook by name. A discovery
error still fails closed.

The deploy.sh stale-taint cleanup turned every kubectl read failure into
"operator not running" and then stripped live runtime-required taints. It is
now a function that skips with a warning on any read error, holds the keys in
an array, and matches taint keys exactly, so a configured key can neither
word-split nor prefix-match an unrelated taint. tools/deploy-sh-taint-cleanup_test.sh
drives the rendered function with a stubbed kubectl and pins which
kubectl taint calls each path issues.

snapshotter.ParseTaint now enforces the Kubernetes taint rules (qualified-name
key, label-value syntax) on every public --workload-gate path, so a malformed
key is rejected at bundle time instead of reaching the script.

…both default taints on fresh deploy

Follow-up to the review on #2597.

The legacy Skyhook fallback had no explicit pre-rename signal, so a v0.18.0
cluster missing its own nodewright.nvidia.com CRD would read a stale legacy
Skyhook as ready. resolveNodewrightGVR now takes the recipe's
nodewright-operator pin as that signal: below v0.18.0 (or no usable pin) the
legacy group is read; v0.18.0 or later with only skyhook.nvidia.com served
fails closed. The chainsaw-assert skip follows the same rule.

deploy.sh's stale-taint cleanup distinguishes an absent operator Deployment
(fresh deploy) from one with zero available replicas: on a fresh deploy the
previous install may have tainted with either default key, so both defaults
are cleaned alongside the configured key, since the incoming operator never
removes a stale nodewright.nvidia.com taint on its own.

…vailable replicas

status.availableReplicas is omitempty, so an existing Deployment with zero
available printed nothing and the stale-taint cleanup read it as a fresh
deploy, widening the key set to both defaults. The probe now lists
"<name> <availableReplicas>" per Deployment: no line means absent; a line
with no count means zero available. Shell test row added for the
existing-but-omitted case.

… is available

The label query returns one row per matching Deployment, but the probe read
only the first row, so a zero or omitted count there hid an available operator
on a later row and the cleanup stripped taints that operator still owned.
Every row is now inspected and any available replica skips the cleanup. Shell
test rows cover the mixed case in both orders and the all-zero case.

Rebased onto main again (branch was behind after #2608 and #2613). Force-pushed with --force-with-lease --force-if-includes: old tip f670633 → new tip 448aff0. The five existing commits replayed identically (git range-diff shows = for each); the new sixth commit addresses the multi-Deployment probe finding. Goldens and BOM regenerated with no drift.

MAJOR — Do not infer that runtime-required taints are stale from Deployment availability. This function runs before installation and deliberately enters cleanup when the Deployment is absent or has zero available replicas. A first installation onto a deliberately pre-tainted pool—or an operator outage during a rerun—therefore removes the configured/default scheduling gate before any controller can complete node setup. Upstream explicitly recommends pre-tainting during node provisioning and defines the taint as the workload barrier until configuration completes. The shell regression currently pins deletion as success for both fresh and all-unavailable states.

Minimum correction: require explicit stale-cleanup intent or verifiable ownership/provenance before deleting any taint; absence or unavailability alone must issue zero kubectl taint ... key- calls.

MAJOR — Validate the effective taint before any cleanup. The generic public bundle --set nodewright-operator:controllerManager.manager.env.runtimeRequiredTaint=... path writes this value directly; at this head, foo bar=true:NoSchedule bundles successfully. This code only slices delimiters, so malformed configuration reaches cleanup, and on a fresh deployment it still appends and removes both default/legacy gate keys. The operator then has no valid configured taint to own or restore, so the deploy can proceed after discarding the known scheduling barriers. ParseTaint validation on --workload-gate does not protect this input path.

Minimum correction: validate the effective Kubernetes taint string before any node mutation and fail closed with zero taint calls; add a public --set-through-render regression.

MAJOR — Enforce v0.18 discovery before suppressing the static check. When effective values suppress every NodeWright CR (for example, tuningEnabled=false), this early return runs before resolveNodewrightGVR; verifyNodewrightReady returns before discovery on the same condition. A recipe pinned to v0.18+ can therefore pass deployment validation against a legacy-only or stale v0.17 cluster even though nodewright.nvidia.com is absent. The operator health check now asserts only the legacy CRD, so no remaining check catches the missing v0.18 API.

Minimum correction: perform the version-aware discovery gate before any values-based suppression, and add a v0.18+, suppressed-render, legacy-only regression.

….18.0

The deployment readiness gate polled skyhook.nvidia.com/v1alpha1 Skyhook and
gated on a hardcoded skyhook.nvidia.com taint key. Operator v0.18.0 renames the
kind to nodewright.nvidia.com/v1alpha1 NodeWright and writes completion status
only there, and moves the default runtime-required taint key to
nodewright.nvidia.com, so both reads missed and a tuned cluster timed out.

Resolve the served group by discovery with a legacy fallback, and read the
configured taint from the operator Deployment's RUNTIME_REQUIRED_TAINT rather
than assuming a key -- --workload-gate is applied at bundle time and never
reaches the recipe the validator is handed. Both fail closed.

Restores the validator work from the closed PR #2597, which was live-validated
on a bare-metal GB300 NVL72 but became unmergeable when the pin rolled back to
v0.17.1, and carries the pin forward to v0.18.0 so its chainsaw assert on
NodeWright is correct rather than premature.

Beyond the validator, the legacy names leaked into surfaces #2597 never
touched:

- UAT gpu_census_verdict matched only the legacy taint prefix, so a node
  cordoned by v0.18.0 tuning reported "ok (N gpu-worker nodes ready)". A false
  pass, now covered by a test that fails without the fix.
- tools/cleanup reaped no nodewright.nvidia.com CRDs, leaving them behind.
- UAT debug capture dumped only the legacy kind, which is empty on v0.18.0.
- Conformance assert-crds asserted the legacy CRD rather than the kind the
  operator writes status on.

The pin bump reopens the transition record, as designed: its stale
expect-aicr-readiness-to-fail steps are gone and the ceiling now sits on the
pin. AICR's webhook.removalImage override is dropped because v0.18.0 qualifies
the image upstream -- the BOM confirms an identical digest.
