feat(recipes): add GKE GB200 (A4X) recipe with NVLS NCCL validation

[mikecook]

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-rdma component (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
Related: N/A

Type of Change

• New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
• Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
• Documentation update

Component(s) Affected

• Recipe engine / data (pkg/recipe)
• Validator (pkg/validator, validators/performance)
• Docs/examples (docs/)
• Other: recipes/ (registry, overlays, checks, component manifests, evidence)

Implementation Notes

• Four leaves, one base: gb200-gke-cos-training (bare), gb200-gke-cos-training-kubeflow, gb200-gke-cos-training-slurm, and gb200-gke-cos-inference-dynamo. Adding the Dynamo variant turns gb200-gke-cos-inference from an independent leaf into a shared base for the plain/Dynamo split — the same base/platform-variant pattern already used for training/training-kubeflow.
• NVLS, not TCPXO: GB200 uses NVLink SHARP (NVLS) + IMEX for the all-reduce fast path, not TCPXO GPU-NIC bonding, so supportedNCCLCombinations maps GKE GB200 to variantNVLS, and GPU↔NIC discovery is skipped for GB200 (it uses gke-gb200-rdma Network CRs instead). The training leaves' performance phase uses the nccl-all-reduce-bw-nvls check/constraint accordingly.
• runtime-nvls.yaml: new Kubeflow TrainingRuntime template for GKE GB200 with IMEX resourceClaims and NVLS-specific env vars, required for the all-reduce job to actually exercise NVLS instead of falling back/erroring.
• Slurm leaf has no performance phase, by design: gb200-gke-cos-training-slurm sets performance: { checks: [], constraints: [] } — the K8s-scheduled NCCL check launches a Pod directly against the cluster scheduler, bypassing slurmd entirely on a Slinky-managed cluster, so it would measure the wrong path. Slurm-specific health is covered by slinky-slurm-health + slinky-slurm-imex-channel in conformance instead (mirrors the existing gb200-eks-ubuntu-training-slurm leaf).
• Controller tolerations (trainer_lifecycle.go): the Kubeflow Trainer/JobSet controller-manager Deployments weren't tolerating the arch/GKE-managed-component taints present on A4X node pools, so the controller pods stuck in FailedScheduling. Added applyControllerTolerations to inject a blanket {operator: Exists} toleration.
• Trainer readiness timeout (pkg/defaults/timeouts.go): widened TrainerControllerReadyTimeout 2m → 3m. The webhook cert-rotation on install races the controller becoming ready under optimistic-concurrency retries; 2m was intermittently too tight on real hardware even though the underlying behavior is expected/benign.
• Two documented GKE/A4X operational prerequisites, added to docs/integrator/gke-gb200-networking.md after being missed during qualification: a GB200-specific nvidia-driver-installer DaemonSet manifest (with the extra partition-gpus init container Google's generic upstream manifest omits) for --profile gpuStack=driver-installer pools, and a hyperdisk-balanced StorageClass requirement (a4x-highgpu-4g rejects the default standard-rwo's pd-balanced disks). docs/integrator/gke-gpu-setup.md and docs/user/validation.md cross-reference and correct their standard-rwo examples accordingly.
• Golden/parity fixtures (catalog_parity_golden.yaml, coverage_golden.yaml, stock_render_golden.yaml) were regenerated to reflect the new GB200/GKE coverage surface.

Testing

make qualify

make qualify passes in full: test-coverage, lint (0 issues), tuning-check, coverage-check, e2e (chainsaw), scan (no new vulnerabilities), license-check, and api-diff (all pkg/client/v1 changes additive, no incompatible changes).
Beyond the automated gate, all four leaves were qualified end-to-end on a real 2-node A4X (8×GB200) GKE cluster — aicr snapshot → aicr recipe --profile gpuStack=driver-installer → aicr bundle → aicr validate — through deployment, conformance, and (where applicable) performance, with signed Sigstore evidence bundles pushed and their pointers committed under recipes/evidence/:

• gb200-gke-cos-training: deployment 4/4, conformance 9/9, performance NVLS 840.08 GB/s (Rekor #80172155)
• gb200-gke-cos-training-kubeflow: deployment 4/4, conformance 10/10, performance NVLS 838.60 GB/s (Rekor #79639260)
• gb200-gke-cos-inference-dynamo: deployment 4/4, conformance 11/11, performance 98,910 tok/s / TTFT p99 989ms (Rekor #79338000)
• gb200-gke-cos-training-slurm: deployment 4/4, conformance 12/12 (incl. slinky-slurm-imex-channel), no performance phase by design — see Implementation Notes (Rekor #79378697)
  NVLS all-reduce floor calibrated on a4x-highgpu-4g (4×GB200/node): 2-node/8-GPU all_reduce_perf measured ~281.936 GB/s avg bus bandwidth (constraint set to >= 250 with headroom); both live NVLS runs above measured 838–840 GB/s peak bus bandwidth on the largest message size.

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds GB200 GKE COS inference and training recipes, RDMA/gIB installation, NVLS benchmarking, model-cache StorageClass validation, controller toleration handling, and stricter DaemonSet rollout checks. It adds recipe, health-check, rendering, performance, and storage tests. It also adds GKE GB200 networking documentation, image inventory updates, recipe-health entries, golden fixtures, and golden-generation safeguards.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5ae38

This PR adds GB200 recipes and validator/runtime changes, but the current version still has concrete issues that can mislead operators, prevent validation in restricted environments, leak temporary resources, weaken error handling, or leave invalid generated fixtures. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

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

precondition. If the volume is intentionally required by the upstream vendored
configuration, keep it and add a comment documenting that rationale.

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.

In `@docs/integrator/gke-gb200-networking.md`:
- Around line 27-30: Update the networking allocation guidance to apply only to
Pods using GPUDirect RDMA, rather than every Pod. Preserve the requirement that
such workloads request all four GPUs and use all four RDMA NICs on a single
node, while clarifying that unrelated Pods are not subject to it.

In `@Makefile`:
- Around line 335-336: Update the golden-fixture update flow invoked by the
recipe and bundler test targets so fixtures are written only after all
resolution and rendering tests complete successfully. Prevent failed runs from
persisting resolveErrorSentinel or renderErrorSentinel, either by separating
validation from fixture writing or aborting fixture writes when any leaf test
fails; preserve the existing TestCatalogParityGolden, TestCoverageGoldenMatrix,
and TestStockRenderParityGolden coverage.

In `@validators/performance/nccl_all_reduce_bw_constraint.go`:
- Around line 946-949: Update the error handling after the leases.Update call in
the stale Lease reclaim path to classify Kubernetes resource-version Conflict
errors as ErrCodeConflict rather than ErrCodeInternal, matching the live-peer
branch. Preserve internal classification for other update failures.
- Around line 938-952: Update acquireNCCLLock to return this run’s holder
identity, and make cleanupNCCLResources read ncclLockName before cleanup;
proceed only when spec.holderIdentity matches that identity. Preserve UID and
resourceVersion preconditions on Lease deletion, and gate cleanup of adopted
fixed-name resources on the same ownership check before releasing the Lease.

resource names invocation-unique. Add a race test that transfers the Lease after
the verification Get and before deletion, ensuring the peer’s resources and
Lease are not removed.

[mchmarny]

Request changes: 1 MAJOR against 48bbb7b. All 84 exact-head checks are successful, skipped, or neutral; targeted lifecycle and render validations also passed but do not exercise asynchronous namespace finalization.

[mchmarny]

MAJOR — Wait for namespace termination before reporting cleanup success. Namespaces().Delete only starts asynchronous deletion; Kubernetes can leave this namespace Terminating while child finalizers run (pinned Kubernetes docs). This function immediately logs Deleted and returns nil, so a successful benchmark can report clean teardown while its ComputeDomain, ResourceClaimTemplate, and namespace remain. The existing five-minute wait when a later run encounters a terminating namespace confirms this state is expected, but it is too late to fail the run that leaked the resources.

Minimum correction: after issuing the delete, wait boundedly for the namespace to disappear and return a cleanup error on timeout; add a finalizer-held/terminating namespace regression case.
