FAQPage Schema
How do I install the NVCF self-managed stack on a Kubernetes cluster?

To install the NVCF self-managed stack, use the documented helmfile workflow to automate end-to-end deployment on your Kubernetes cluster, applying validation steps to ensure a healthy self-managed control plane.

What are the prerequisites for deploying an NVCF self-hosted stack?

Deploying an NVCF self-hosted stack requires helmfile >= 1.1.x, helm >= 3.12, helm-diff >= 3.11, and kubectl compatibility, along with proper structure checks before initiating the helmfile bundle installation.

Can I deploy the NVCF self-managed stack on a non-GPU Kubernetes cluster?

Yes, you can deploy the NVCF self-managed stack on non-GPU clusters by configuring a fake GPU operator setup during the helmfile deployment workflow to simulate GPU resources.

How do I override helm values for an NVCF self-managed installation?

You can override helm values for an NVCF self-managed installation by passing inline values as needed during the helmfile workflow to customize chart behavior for image pull secrets and other configurations.

What is the best way to teardown and debug an NVCF self-hosted stack?

The best way to teardown and debug an NVCF self-hosted stack is using the automated helmfile teardown workflow, which provides guidance for clean removal and post-install remediation of installation failures.
