Advanced Cluster Configuration
Advanced cluster configurations can be used to tailor your Run:ai cluster deployment to meet specific operational requirements and optimize resource management. By fine-tuning these settings, you can enhance functionality, ensure compatibility with organizational policies, and achieve better control over your cluster environment. This article provides guidance on implementing and managing these configurations to adapt the Run:ai cluster to your unique needs.
After the Run:ai cluster is installed, you can adjust various settings to better align with your organization's operational needs and security requirements.
Edit cluster configurations¶
Advanced cluster configurations are managed through the runaiconfig Kubernetes Custom Resource. To modify the cluster configurations, use the following command:
Configurations¶
The following configurations allow you to enable or disable features, control permissions, and customize the behavior of your Run:ai cluster:
| Key | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| spec.project-controller.createNamespaces (boolean) | Allows Kubernetes namespace creation for new projects | true |
| spec.mps-server.enabled (boolean) | Enabled when using NVIDIA MPS | false |
| spec.global.subdomainSupport (boolean) | Allows the creation of subdomains for ingress endpoints, enabling access to workloads via unique subdomains on the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). For details, see External Access to Container | false |
| spec.runai-container-toolkit.enabled (boolean) | Allows workloads to use GPU fractions | true |
| spec.prometheus.spec.retention (string) | Defines how long Prometheus retains Run:ai metrics locally, which is useful in case of potential connectivity issues. For more information, see Prometheus Storage | 2h |
| spec.prometheus.spec.retentionSize (string) | Allocates storage space for Run:ai metrics in Prometheus, which is useful in case of potential connectivity issues. For more information, see Prometheus Storage | "" |
| spec.prometheus.logLevel (string) | Sets the Prometheus log levelPossible values: [debug, info, warn, error] | “info" |
| spec.global.schedulingServices (object) | Defines resource constraints uniformly for the entire set of Run:ai scheduling services. For more information, see Resource requests and limits of Pod and container | {resources: {}} |
| spec.global.syncServices (object) | Defines resource constraints uniformly for the entire set of Run:ai sync services. For more information, see Resource requests and limits of Pod and container | {resources: {}} |
| spec.global.workloadServices (object) | Defines resource constraints uniformly for the entire set of Run:ai workload services. For more information, see Resource requests and limits of Pod and container | {resources: {}} |
| global.nodeAffinity.restrictScheduling (boolean) | Enables setting node roles and restricting workload scheduling to designated nodes | false |
| spec.runai-container-toolkit.logLevel (boolean) | Specifies the run:ai-container-toolkit logging level: either 'SPAM', 'DEBUG', 'INFO', 'NOTICE', 'WARN', or 'ERROR' | INFO |
| spec.global.core.dynamicFractions.enabled (boolean) | Enables dynamic GPU fractions | true |

| spec.global.core.nodeScheduler.enabled (boolean) | Enables the node-level scheduler | false |
| spec.limitRange.cpuDefaultRequestCpuLimitFactorNoGpu (string) | Sets a default ratio between the CPU request and the limit for workloads without GPU requests | 0.1 |
| spec.limitRange.memoryDefaultRequestMemoryLimitFactorNoGpu (string) | Sets a default ratio between the memory request and the limit for workloads without GPU requests | 0.1 |
| spec.limitRange.cpuDefaultRequestGpuFactor (string) | Sets a default amount of CPU allocated per GPU when the CPU is not specified | |
| spec.limitRange.cpuDefaultLimitGpuFactor (int) | Sets a default CPU limit based on the number of GPUs requested when no CPU limit is specified | NO DEFAULT |
| spec.limitRange.memoryDefaultRequestGpuFactor (string) | Sets a default amount of memory allocated per GPU when the memory is not specified | 100Mi |
| spec.limitRange.memoryDefaultLimitGpuFactor (string) | Sets a default memory limit based on the number of GPUs requested when no memory limit is specified | NO DEFAULT |
| global.core.timeSlicing.mode (string) | Sets the GPU time-slicing mode.Possible values:timesharing - all pods on a GPU share the GPU compute time evenly.‘strict’ - each pod gets an exact time slice according to its memory fraction value.fair - each pod gets an exact time slice according to its memory fraction value and any unused GPU compute time is split evenly between the running pods. | timesharing |
| runai-scheduler.fullHierarchyFairness (boolean) | Enables fairness between departments, on top of projects fairness | true |
| pod-grouper.args.gangSchedulingKnative (boolean) | Enables gang scheduling for inference workloads.For backward compatibility with versions earlier than v2.19, change the value to false | true |
| runai-scheduler.args.verbosity (int) | Configures the level of detail in the logs generated by the scheduler service | 4 |
