Summary

Adds the gcp-driver-installer component — Google's cos-gpu-installer DaemonSet as a values-gated, AICR-managed component — and replaces the GKE gpuStack value driver-installer with bundle-installer, which owns it: the bundle carries the driver installer, the version is pinned in the recipe, and upgrades roll with the bundle.

Motivation / Context

The GKE COS chain can consume a driver but not produce one (#1716): on opt-out pools (gke-no-default-nvidia-gpu-device-plugin=true, gpu-driver-version=disabled) the driver had to be supplied by hand-applying Google's standalone installer DaemonSet — an out-of-band prerequisite the recipe could neither version, order, nor validate. Production evidence for the bundle-carried arrangement is in #2344. Making the installer a recipe artifact closes the gap end-to-end: dependencyRefs orders it ahead of the GPU Operator, the driver version is a locked recipe value, and the whole mode is selected with one flag.

Fixes: #1716
Related: #2344

Type of Change

  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)

Component(s) Affected

  • Recipe engine / data (pkg/recipe)
  • Bundlers (pkg/bundler, pkg/component/*)
  • Validator (pkg/validator)
  • Docs/examples (docs/, examples/)

Breaking change

driver-installer (shipped in v0.19.0) is replaced: selecting --profile gpuStack=driver-installer now fails closed with valid values: [bundle-installer gke-default]. bundle-installer uses the same pool shape; the only migration step for clusters that hand-applied the standalone nvidia-driver-installer DaemonSet is to delete it before deploying (the bundle's DaemonSet shares its name in kube-system; Helm will not adopt the pre-existing object). Nodes with a loaded driver are untouched — the installer's fast path skips them.

Implementation Notes

  • Values-gated component: present unconditionally in the gke-cos chain (a profile changes how components are configured, never the component set); gated on nested installer.enabled — top-level install/enabled are component-presence gates and a false default would deadlock profile resolution (ADR-015 sketch amended). Under gke-default it renders a template-less no-op chart.
  • Two values, generation-time distinguishable: gke-default asserts the opt-out label absent; bundle-installer asserts it present on pools created gpu-driver-version=disabled. This resolves ADR-015 Deferred Decision 5 with no post-deployment signal.
  • Driver version: gcp-driver-installer.driverVersion is pinned in the recipe (580.173.02) and must be COS-qualified — the installer validates against the COS build's curated per-GPU-type list (verified for H100/A100/B200/GB200 on COS 125/129; COS 121 carries no qualifying R580 build). Version bumps take effect on replaced/rebooted nodes only.
  • Code: CheckNVSentinelDriverLabelDetectable accepts bundle-installer (the bundle-carried installer IS a driver pod the labeler detects); the deployment validator's static-assert suppression is generalized (gatedHealthCheckSuppressed, same nodewright-customizations deployment health check fails when tuningEnabled=false suppresses the Skyhook CR #1844 mechanism as nodewright-customizations) so the empty-render selection skips the DaemonSet health check; GKE COS driver remediation text updated.
  • BOM: cos-nvidia-installer:fixed is a COS-node-local image (imagePullPolicy: Never) — digest-pin exemption with rationale; it must never be mirrored. The partition-GPU image default is a literal so its digest lands in the BOM.
  • Union totality / lock surface: gcp-driver-installer: [enabled, installer.enabled] joins ownedPaths for every selection — all GKE recipe digests move (parity goldens regenerated); committed GKE evidence pointers become stale-advisory until re-published per value.

Testing

make qualify   # green
  • 38 packages green; lint clean.
  • Render matrix: both values recipe+bundle cleanly; gke-default renders no installer templates; bundle-installer renders the DaemonSet with the pinned --version.
  • --profile gpuStack=driver-installer fails closed with the valid-values list (verified).
  • Profile lock: --set gcpdriverinstaller:installer.enabled=true on a gke-default recipe rejects with the owned-path diagnostic.
  • Chainsaw tripwire: forcing gke-default renders devicePlugin.enabled: false and the GKE H100 assert fails as designed.
  • Live-cluster validation (aicr validate under bundle-installer on a DGXC GKE H100 cluster) planned before merge — the AOR-applied DaemonSet must be removed first per the migration note.

Risk Assessment

  • Medium — Touches multiple components or has broader impact

Rollout notes: see Breaking change. gke-default behavior is unchanged apart from the expanded lock surface (--set on the installer gate now rejects). Downstream data repos that select driver-installer in CI must switch to bundle-installer when they bump.

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)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a pinned gcp-driver-installer component for GKE COS recipes. It adds conditional DaemonSet rendering, health checks, registry wiring, dependency ordering, validation, tests, UAT references, documentation, image inventory updates, and generated digests. It renames the GKE profile from driver-installer to bundle-installer. The deployment validator suppresses health checks when gated components render no Kubernetes objects.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f386a

The bundle-installer path can fail on arm64 accelerator nodes and may treat nodes with older loaded drivers as healthy after a version update, leaving the requested driver version unapplied. These concrete runtime and correctness risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Possibly related PRs

  • NVIDIA/aicr#2249 — Both PRs modify GKE COS gpuStack wiring and NVSentinel validation.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/integrator/gke-gpu-setup.md`:
- Around line 57-58: Complete the GKE ownership migration across the stale
tables, retrofit procedure, and validation remediation: replace removed
driver-installer references with the bundle-managed gpuStack=bundle-installer
flow, and instruct users to delete any hand-applied
kube-system/nvidia-driver-installer DaemonSet before deploying the bundle.
Remove guidance that applies the standalone installer, while preserving the
bundle deployment and validation steps.

Apply the same fix in `@pkg/bundler/validations/checks.go` at line 457: The
validation remediation repeats the same conflicting manual-install instruction.

In
`@recipes/components/gcp-driver-installer/manifests/nvidia-driver-installer.yaml`:
- Around line 157-165: Update the GPU module detection logic around the
installer branch so a loaded NVIDIA module is not automatically treated as the
requested driver version. Compare the installed NVIDIA driver version with
driverVersion; continue only when they match, and when they differ, trigger the
supported node replacement or reboot workflow or fail explicitly instead of
exiting successfully.

In `@recipes/overlays/gke-cos.yaml`:
- Around line 117-121: Update the bundle-installer configuration under
componentRefs for gcp-driver-installer so partitionGpuImage uses a
multi-architecture image or an arm64-compatible override, while preserving the
installer enabled setting and ensuring this architecture-unconstrained profile
works on Grace and GB200 nodes.

In `@validators/deployment/expected_resources.go`:
- Around line 683-700: Add table-driven tests for gatedHealthCheckSuppressed
covering an installer that renders objects, an installer gated off, comment-only
output, render failure, and a non-gated component; assert suppression, reason,
and error outcomes, and use existing fixtures/helpers in
expected_resources_test.go.
- Around line 730-745: Propagate the validation context into
gatedHealthCheckSuppressed and emptyRenderHealthCheckSuppressed, then check
ctx.Ctx.Done() before each manifest read and render in the manifest loop. Return
the established cancellation result immediately when cancellation is observed,
while preserving existing manifest loading and rendering error handling.

Appended 4565274: condensed the ADR-015 edits to the minimal decision-record set — the DD5 resolution note, its adoption-step counterpart, a one-line sketch redirect, and the gate-key correction (the drawn top-level install gate deadlocks profile resolution). Dropped the cosmetic shipped-name annotations and example renames.

Rebased onto current main (534a9f50) to clear the merge conflicts — the gate requires an up-to-date branch. Old HEAD 224f4257, new HEAD 99ed026f. Conflicts were only the two generated goldens (stock_render_golden.yaml, catalog_parity_golden.yaml), resolved by regenerating on the rebased tree (appended as 99ed026f). git diff origin/main...HEAD before and after shows the identical 30-file / +807/−219 change set; recipe, bundler, validations, client, and deployment-validator tests all pass locally.

How to refresh evidence

Run on a cluster matching the recipe's criteria:

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 \
  -s snapshot.yaml \
  --emit-attestation ./out \
  --push ghcr.io/<your-fork>/aicr-evidence
# Copy to the per-source path printed in the emit 'copyTo' hint:
#   recipes/evidence/<slug>/<source>/<bundle-digest>.yaml

Reviewed at 99ed026f. Requesting changes on the two P1s; the rest are text and can ride along.

Retracting one of my earlier findings. I previously flagged the GB200 qualification claim as contradicting the arm64 caveat. That was wrong — the claim qualifies the driver version against the COS curated list, while the caveat qualifies the partition image architecture. Different objects; both true at once. Not a defect here. #2338 must supply an arm64-compatible partitionGpuImage when it rebases.

P2 — the rename is incomplete. Profile-value references to the removed driver-installer remain in six places, none of them updated by this PR:

  • docs/user/validation.md:40-41user-facing; presents driver-installer as a selectable value, so a reader runs --profile gpuStack=driver-installer, which no longer resolves
  • docs/contributor/evidence-publishing.md:78-81
  • recipes/components/gpu-operator/values-gke-cos.yaml:46
  • tests/uat/gcp/cluster-config.yaml:142
  • recipes/overlays/gke-cos.yaml:75
  • pkg/bundler/validations/checks.go:1329

Only profile-name references should change — gcp-driver-installer and the nvidia-driver-installer DaemonSet name remain valid, as does the deliberately historical reference at docs/integrator/gke-gpu-setup.md:371.

A check that generalizes to any rename:

gh search code --repo NVIDIA/aicr "driver-installer" --json path -q '.[].path' | sort -u > /tmp/main-refs
gh pr view 2360 --repo NVIDIA/aicr --json files -q '.files[].path' | sort -u > /tmp/pr-files
comm -23 /tmp/main-refs /tmp/pr-files

Checked and clear, so you know these were looked at: the installer.enabled gate fails closed on a missing key or any non-true value; the health check guards against a vacuous pass (desiredNumberScheduled > 0); and an opt-out-label pool created with gpu-driver-version=default fails deployment validation rather than passing silently.

Not findings, just noting: the live H100 validation is still marked as planned in the PR body.

Out of scope, deliberately not raised: #2338's image override, the OKE / readinessConstraints design and #2359, and pool-mode qualification hardening beyond the documented supported configuration.

The four findings are addressed at c0ede530 — threads resolved — but there's still an issue: the one from my previous review body, which had no thread to reply to.

The profile-value rename is incomplete in six locations:

checks.go:379 is an intentional non-profile reference and should stay: it describes Google's installer root.

The most consequential miss is docs/user/validation.md — it still presents driver-installer as a selectable value, which can lead readers to use --profile gpuStack=driver-installer; that no longer resolves.

One caution for the sweep: don't exclude whole lines containing nvidia-driver-installer or gcp-driver-installer. gke-cos.yaml:75 carries both a stale profile reference and the legitimate DaemonSet name on the same line, so line-level filtering hides the defect. Search candidates with rg -n -P '(?<![\w-])driver-installer(?![\w-])' and inspect them semantically.

Holding changes requested until these are fixed.

…onSet

Client.MakeBundle with nil configuration injects no acceleratedTolerations,
rendering the DaemonSet with no tolerations at all — scheduled away from
GKE's auto-tainted GPU pools while the health check passes on the untainted
subset. Adopt the bcm-setup/tuning-gke pattern: supplied tolerations when
non-empty, otherwise operator: Exists.

Eight files still carried the withdrawn profile value — most consequentially
docs/user/validation.md, which presented driver-installer as selectable.
checks.go:379 and gke-gpu-setup.md:370 stay: intentional references to
Google's installer root and the replaced arrangement respectively.

Review round 2 (#2360): render tests now pin the tolerate-all fallback,
the supplied-tolerations replacement, and the string-"true" template gate
(TC1/TC2); the BundleSuppliesGKEDriver fail-closed error path and the
non-map installer shape gain coverage (TC3); the supply check runs lazily
inside the Rule 1 guard so its hard-fail surface exists only when the
rule would fire (CORR1); the health check asserts the managed-by label so
a leftover hand-applied DaemonSet cannot false-pass a migration (OPS1);
node affinity excludes non-COS GPU pools the COS-local :fixed image would
wedge (OPS2). Also renames the stale profile value at checks.go:1390.

The profile is GKE-COS-scoped already, so the predicate adds no
supported-path correctness — and in a mixed-OS cluster it would let
health validation pass on the COS subset while silently excluding other
GPU nodes.

Both items done; rebased and force-pushed — old HEAD 503a38d6 (761d694b plus the predicate revert), new HEAD 9c8f907a.

  1. The COS-only affinity predicate is dropped (reverted in 503a38d6, carried through the rebase). Agreed on the failure mode: exclusion would make health validation certify the COS subset while silently skipping other GPU nodes — the opposite of surfacing the mixed-cluster problem.
  2. Rebased onto current main (56f84ae3) with the goldens regenerated fresh on the rebased tree (9c8f907a) — the earlier hand-resolved regen commit was dropped during the rebase rather than carried. git diff origin/main...HEAD matches the pre-rebase change set exactly, minus docs/user/recipe-health.md which main now carries identically.

Full test pass on the rebased branch (bundler, client, recipe, recipes, validators) — only the known sigstore-TUF network failures in pkg/bundler/attestation, unrelated to the branch.

All six findings from the last round are addressed. Remaining before merge:

  1. Live-cluster validation is still recorded as "planned" in the Testing section. It is part of #1716's acceptance scope, so the result belongs in the PR body once completed. The migration note applies: the hand-applied nvidia-driver-installer DaemonSet must be deleted first because Helm will not adopt it.

  2. Needs a final rebase.

Live-cluster validation results (post-merge, completing the acceptance scope)

Environment: fresh DGXC-blueprint GKE cluster gtprjpor-dgxc-k8s-gcp-ams-dev1 (europe-west4, GKE 1.34.10), 1× a3-megagpu-8g (8× H100) on COS 125 (19216.532.62), GPU pool provisioned with gke-no-default-nvidia-gpu-device-plugin=true and no GKE-managed driver, node tainted nvidia.com/gpu=present:NoSchedule, no hand-applied installer present (fresh cluster — the migration-note deletion step applies only to retrofits). aicr built from this PR's branch.

Acceptance claim Result
Driverless labeled pool → snapshot records driver-loaded: false
aicr recipe --profile gpuStack=bundle-installer resolves, gpuDriverState: absent persisted, no driver-mismatch warning
aicr bundle generates from the absent state (the Rule 1 fix — this exact flow returned INVALID_REQUEST before it)
Installer DaemonSet tolerates the GPU taint, schedules, validates 580.173.02 against the COS curated list (gpu_driver_versions.bin), installs and verifies the driver
GKE's managed plugin suppressed (all six nvidia-gpu-device-plugin-* DaemonSets at 0 desired); GPU Operator's plugin sole advertiser, nvidia.com/gpu: 8; CUDA validator Completed
NVSentinel labeler observed the installer's driver pod (assumeDriverInstalled=false path) — driver-labeled DaemonSets scheduled
aicr validate readiness pre-flight incl. the profile's node-label constraint
expected-resources (all 14 component health checks) ✅ (with #2444)
Conformance phase (12 checks)

Environmental residuals (expected on this 1-node, infra-only cluster, both fail with clean deterministic messages): nccl-all-reduce-bw requires ≥2 GPU nodes for the East-West fabric test; gke-gpu-nic-networks requires the GKE multi-network Network objects the DGXC runtime creates (0 of 8 present without it).

Live-validation findings, fixed in #2444: Helm 4 server-side apply rewrites app.kubernetes.io/managed-by to Helm, so the health check's migration-defense assert now keys on app.kubernetes.io/part-of: aicr (verified to survive SSA); and the check's 10m assert budget exceeded the expected-resources Job's 8m activeDeadline (the #2186 failure shape), now 5m.
