SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires bash, docker, kubectl, helm, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

NVIDIA RAG Blueprint provides an end-to-end framework to deploy, configure, and govern NVIDIA RAG pipelines across on-prem and cloud environments, enabling consistent governance, safety checks, and repeatable deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided environment analysis and mode detection (self-hosted, NVIDIA-hosted, or retrieval-only) with automated health checks.
  • Unified deployment workflows for Docker Compose, Kubernetes Helm, and library-based setups, plus centralized references for configuration.
  • Per-feature configurability (VLM, guardrails, query/rewrite, ingestion, observability) and easy switch between deployment modes.
  • Use cases include production-grade RAG deployments, migration between deployment modes, and governance-focused operations.

Quick Start

Follow the deployment workflow in references/deploy/docker-self-hosted.md or references/deploy/docker-nvidia-hosted.md to begin.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy the NVIDIA RAG blueprint using Docker or Helm?

Deploy the NVIDIA RAG blueprint using guided workflows for Docker Compose or Kubernetes Helm, which include environment analysis, staged deployment, health checks, and rollback-ready steps.

What is the difference between self-hosted and NVIDIA-hosted RAG deployment modes?

Self-hosted mode runs RAG infrastructure locally via Docker or Helm, while NVIDIA-hosted shifts compute to cloud endpoints; both modes are managed through a unified workflow with automated mode detection.

Can I enable guardrails and VLM features selectively in my RAG pipeline?

Yes, the RAG blueprint supports per-feature configurability, allowing you to independently toggle VLM, guardrails, query rewriting, ingestion, and observability features during deployment.

Do I need kubectl and helm installed to use the RAG blueprint?

Yes, Kubernetes deployments require kubectl and helm, while local Docker deployments require bash and docker; the skill checks prerequisites and blockers before initiating the staged deployment.

How does the RAG blueprint handle rollback if a deployment fails health checks?

The RAG blueprint enforces governance through staged deployment with health verifications, ensuring each step is rollback-ready if blocker checks or health validations fail during the process.

What is the best way to migrate a RAG deployment from local Docker to Kubernetes?

Use the unified deployment workflow to switch between modes, leveraging environment analysis and mode detection to transition RAG pipelines from Docker Compose to Kubernetes Helm setups.
