DPUDeployment

This document describes how a user can work with the DPUDeployment Custom Resource. A DPUDeployment describes a set of DPUServices and a DPUServiceChain that run on a set of DPUs with a given BFB and DPUFlavor.

Throughout this document, there are examples for the required Custom Resources that end up building a valid DPUDeployment Custom Resource. These examples contain comments related to fields that are set for more context. The theoretical example is about 2 services, one of them producing work and the other one executing work (producer-consumer problem).

  • Validates dependencies to ensure that they are configured correctly and reports errors in the DPUDeployment status conditions accordingly.

  • Validates that requested DPUService resources fit the DPUs they are targeting and report errors in the DPUDeployment status conditions accordingly.

  • Validates that the version requirements of the DPUService fit the versions found in the given BFB and reports errors in the DPUDeployment status conditions accordingly.

  • Gracefully handles synchronized disruptive and non-disruptive updates of the underlying objects.

When applying a valid DPUDeployment that has all of its dependencies set correctly and available, there will be a couple of objects that are going to be created automatically:

  • DPUSet: Deploys a given BFB with configuration provided by the given DPUFlavor to the target DPUs. A DPUDeployment may create multiple such objects, depending on what is specified in its spec.

  • DPUServiceInterface: Used to construct a Service Chain on the DPU. A DPUDeployment may create multiple such objects, depending on what is specified in the DPUServiceConfiguration.

  • DPUServiceChain: Used to define a Service Chain on the DPU that references the interfaces created above. A DPUDeployment creates a single DPUServiceChain.

  • DPUService: Deploys a service as Pod in each DPU. A DPUDeployment may create multiple such objects, depending on what is specified in its spec.

There are several Custom Resources that are required in order to make use of the DPUDeployment. These are:

DPUServiceTemplate

A DPUServiceTemplate contains configuration options related to resources required by the DPUService to be deployed. This Custom Resource is usually provided by NVIDIA for the supported DPUServices that are published. It helps generate the underlying DPUService. It is the base configuration for the DPUService that is getting merged with configuration provided by the DPUServiceConfiguration. If there is a conflict, settings in DPUServiceConfiguration take precedence.

A user must create as many DPUServiceTemplate Custom Resources as the number of services they aim to deploy using a DPUDeployment. In this example, we will need to create 2 of those since we have 2 DPUServices.

DPUServiceConfiguration

A DPUServiceConfiguration contains all configuration options from the user to be provided to the DPUService via the Helm values. This Custom Resource is usually crafted by the user according to their environment and intended use of the DPUService. It helps generate the underlying DPUService. It is a layer on top of the configuration defined in the DPUServiceTemplate. This configuration is getting merged with configuration provided by the DPUServiceTemplate. If there is a conflict, settings in DPUServiceConfiguration take precedence.

A user must create as many DPUServiceConfiguration Custom Resources as the number of services they aim to deploy using a DPUDeployment. In this example, we will need to create 2 of those since we have 2 DPUServices.

spec.deploymentServiceName must match the key in the spec.services field of the DPUDeployment.

spec.Interfaces is a list of interfaces that the DPUService should have. They can be referenced in the spec.serviceChains of the DPUDeployment.

spec.upgradePolicy.applyNodeEffect is a boolean that indicates whether the service update should be disruptive or not. The default is true, which means that a new version of the service is created for every new version of the DPUServiceConfiguration and the node effect defined in the dpuset is triggered for the relevant nodes for the update to happen. If set to false, the service is updated non-disruptively.

DPUFlavor

A DPUFlavor describes the configuration to be applied on the DPU during the provisioning. This is a very minimal DPUFlavor as the purpose of this document is to demonstrate the capabilities of the DPUDeployment. Given that, there are 2 fields set that are related to the DPUDeployment.

Copy
Copied!
            

apiVersion: provisioning.dpu.nvidia.com/v1alpha1 kind: DPUFlavor metadata: name: producer-consumer namespace: customer-namespace spec: # dpuResources indicates the minimum amount of resources needed for a BFB with that flavor to be installed on a # DPU. Using this field, the controller can understand if that flavor can be installed on a particular DPU. It # should be set to the total amount of resources the system needs + the resources that should be made available for # DPUServices to consume. dpuResources: cpu: 16 memory: 16Gi nvidia.com/sf: 20 # systemReservedResources indicates the resources that are consumed by the system (OS, OVS, DPF system etc) and are # not made available for DPUServices to consume. DPUServices can consume the difference between DPUResources and # SystemReservedResources. This field must not be specified if dpuResources are not specified. systemReservedResources: cpu: 4 memory: 4Gi nvidia.com/sf: 4

The above configuration translates to the following resources being available for the DPUServices deployed by the DPUDeployment.

DPUs Configuration

The spec.dpus contains the configuration for the DPUs that the DPUDeployment should target.

Copy
Copied!
            

spec: dpus: bfb: "bfb-2.9" flavor: "producer-consumer" dpuSets: - nameSuffix: "dpuset1" nodeSelector: matchLabels: datacenter.nvidia.com/rack: "b-100" dpuSelector: pciAddr: "0000:0e:00.0" - nameSuffix: "dpuset2" nodeSelector: matchLabels: datacenter.nvidia.com/rack: "b-101" dpuSelector: pciAddr: "0000:1a:00.0" nodeEffect: taint: key: "dpu" value: "provisioning" effect: NoSchedule

In the above example, the DPUDeployment targets 2 sets of DPUs. The first set targets the DPUs in rack b-100 with the PCI address 0000:0e:00.0. The second set targets the DPUs in rack b-101 with the PCI address 0000:1a:00.0.

The following fields are available in the spec.dpus:

  • bfb: The BFB object to be flashed on the DPUs. It must exist in the same namespace as the DPUDeployment.

  • flavor: The DPUFlavor object that describes the configuration to be applied on the DPU during the provisioning. It must exist in the same namespace as the DPUDeployment.

  • dpuSets: A list of DPUSet configurations that describe the DPUs to be targeted by the DPUDeployment.

    • nameSuffix: A suffix to be added to the DPUSet name. This is a required field, as the DPUSet name must be unique and identifiable.

    • nodeSelector: The node selector to be used to select the nodes to which the DPUs are attached.

    • dpuSelector: The selector to be used to select the DPUs that are to be targeted. In this example, the DPUs are selected based on their PCI address.

    • dpuAnnotations: The annotation to be applied on the DPU objects that are created by the DPUDeployment.

  • nodeEffect: The effect to be applied on the nodes to which the DPUs are attached. In this example, a NoSchedule taint is applied to the nodes.

See the Prerequisite Custom Resources With Examples section for examples of the DPUFlavor and BFB Custom Resources.

See the DPUSets document for more information on the DPUSet Custom Resource.

Services Configuration

The spec.services contains the configuration for the services that the DPUDeployment should deploy.

Copy
Copied!
            

spec: services: producer: serviceTemplate: "producer" serviceConfiguration: "producer" consumer: serviceTemplate: "consumer" serviceConfiguration: "consumer"

The following fields are available in the spec.services:

  • serviceTemplate: The DPUServiceTemplate object that describes the configuration for the service to be deployed.

  • serviceConfiguration: The DPUServiceConfiguration object that describes the configuration for the service to be deployed.

Both serviceTemplate and serviceConfiguration must be provided for each service that the DPUDeployment should deploy and must exist in the same namespace as the DPUDeployment.

See the Prerequisite Custom Resources With Examples section for examples of the DPUServiceTemplate and DPUServiceConfiguration Custom Resources.

Service Chains Configuration

The spec.serviceChains contains the configuration for the DPUServiceChain that the DPUDeployment should create.

Copy
Copied!
            

spec: serviceChains: switches: - ports: - service: name: producer interface: app-iface - serviceInterface: matchLabels: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/interface: p0

The following fields are available in the spec.serviceChains:

  • upgradePolicy.applyNodeEffect: A boolean that indicates whether the service chain update should be disruptive or not. The default is true, which means that a new version of the service chain is created for every new version of the DPUService and the node effect defined in the dpuset is triggered for the relevant nodes for the update to happen. If set to false, the service chain is updated non-disruptively. The disruptive operation applies the node effect defined for the DPUSet on the nodes.

  • switches: A list of switches that are part of the service chain.

    • ports: A list of ports that are part of the switch.

      • service: Holds the configuration for an interface. The service referenced by this field must be defined in the corresponding DPUServiceConfiguration. See the Prerequisite Custom Resources With Examples section for examples of the DPUServiceConfiguration Custom Resource.

        • name: The name of the service. This field must match the service name defined as key spec.services.

        • interface: The name of the interface. This interface is injected by the cni plugin when the pod is scheduled.

        • ipam: The IPAM configuration for the interface. This field is optional and can be used to specify the IPAM configuration for the interface.

      • serviceInterface: Holds the configuration for an existing interface.

        • matchLabels: The labels to be used to select the interface. This field is required and must match the labels of the DPUServiceInterface.

        • ipam: The IPAM configuration for the interface. This field is optional and can be used to specify the IPAM configuration for the interface.

The DPUDeployment controller creates a single DPUServiceChain based on the configuration provided in the spec.serviceChains. The DPUServiceChain is created in the same namespace as the DPUDeployment.

See DPUServiceChain for more information on the DPUServiceChain Custom Resource.

Waiting for Ready

When a DPUDeployment is created, it may take some time for all the underlying objects to be created and for the DPUs to be provisioned.

It is possible to wait for a DPUDeployment to be ready by using the kubectl wait

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready dpudeployment/<dpudeployment-name> -n <namespace>


DPUDeployment Updates

A DPUDeployment can be updated by modifying .spec of the custom resource or by changing a referenced object like DPUServiceTemplate and DPUServiceConfiguration. The update of the underlying objects is specific to each kind:

  • DPUSet can be updated by modifying .spec.dpus. The underlying dpus can be reprovisioned if the referenced bfb or DPUFlavor change.

  • DPUServices can be updated by modifying spec.Services. Changing the referenced DPUServiceTemplate or DPUServiceConfiguration will update the selected DPUService. A differentiation is made for "disruptive DPUServices" which have an impact on the cluster nodes and "non-disruptive" ones that do not.

  • DPUServiceInterface can be updated by modifying the referenced DPUServiceConfiguration spec.Interfaces.

  • DPUServiceChain can be updated by modifying spec.ServiceChains.

Note: Users should avoid manually modifying an object owned by a DPUDeployment, as doing so can lead to unforeseen consequences that may disrupt the entire setup. The controller does not recognize these manual changes and may or may not overwrite them to reach the desired state.

Non-disruptive DPUService Update

1) Retrieve the reference DPUServiceConfiguration or DPUServiceTemplate:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl get dpuserviceconfiguration -n customer-namespace NAME AGE producer 36m

2) We should get a valid DPUServiceConfiguration:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl get dpuserviceconfiguration producer -n customer-namespace -o yaml apiVersion: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/v1alpha1 kind: DPUServiceConfiguration metadata: name: producer namespace: customer-namespace spec: deploymentServiceName: "producer" # Must match the key in the `dpudeployment.spec.services` serviceConfiguration: serviceDaemonSet: labels: sre.nvidia.com/service-tier: "t1" annotations: sre.nvidia.com/page: "false" interfaces: - name: app-iface network: mynad

3) As an example let's update the requested interface name. In this case a new DPUServiceInterface is expected as this field is part of the DPUServiceInterface name. This is the only case where a new DPUServiceInterface is expected, otherwise the existing one will be updated:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl patch dpuserviceconfiguration producer \ -n customer-namespace \ --type='json' \ -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/interfaces/0/name", "value":"app-iface2"}]'

4) The DPUService should be updated by the DPUDeployment controller:

Copy
Copied!
            

apiVersion: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/v1alpha1 kind: DPUService metadata: annotations: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/dpuservice-version: f4295be911 finalizers: - dpu.nvidia.com/dpuservice labels: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/owned-by-dpudeployment: producer-consumer-dpudeployment name: producer-consumer-producer-2444q namespace: customer-namespace spec: ... serviceID: dpudeployment_producer-consumer-dpudeployment_producer-consumer-producer interfaces: - producer-app-iface2-748qf # Notice that this field is updated to match the new DPUServiceInterface

5) A new DPUServiceInterface is created by the DPUDeployment controller:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl get dpuserviceinterface -n customer-namespace NAME READY PHASE IFTYPE IFNAME AGE producer-app-iface2-748qf True Success service app-iface 5m


Disruptive DPUService Update

Updating "disruptive DPUServices" involves creating a new instance for every new version. In addition, DPUServiceInterfaces are created for the new DPUService instances. Up to revisionHistoryLimit instances can exist at a given time, e.g. when changes are made to the DPUServiceConfiguration or DPUServiceTemplate while no instance has reached a ready state yet.

1) Retrieve the reference DPUServiceConfiguration or DPUServiceTemplate:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl get dpuserviceconfiguration -n customer-namespace NAME AGE producer 36m

2) We should get a valid DPUServiceConfiguration:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl get dpuserviceconfiguration producer -n customer-namespace -o yaml apiVersion: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/v1alpha1 kind: DPUServiceConfiguration metadata: name: producer namespace: customer-namespace spec: deploymentServiceName: "producer" # Must match the key in the `dpudeployment.spec.services` serviceConfiguration: serviceDaemonSet: labels: sre.nvidia.com/service-tier: "t1" annotations: sre.nvidia.com/page: "false" interfaces: - name: app-iface network: mynad

3) Make the DPUService disruptive by changing the upgradePolicy.applyNodeEffect:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl patch dpuserviceconfiguration producer \ -n customer-namespace \ --type='json' \ -p='[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/upgradePolicy/applyNodeEffect", "value": true }]'

$ kubectl patch dpuserviceconfiguration producer \ -n customer-namespace \ --type='json' \ -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/interfaces/0/name", "value":"app-iface2"}]'

5) The DPUService should be updated by the DPUDeployment controller by adding a new version. In addition, a new DPUServiceInterface is created for the new DPUService.

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl get dpuservices -n customer-namespace NAME READY PHASE AGE producer-consumer-2444q True Success 27m producer-consumer-rr45f False Pending 1m

$ kubectl patch dpudeployment producer-consumer \ -n customer-namespace \ --type='json' \ -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/serviceChains/switches/0/ports/1/service/interface", "value":"app-iface2"}]'

3) The DPUServiceChain should be updated by the DPUDeployment controller:

Copy
Copied!
            

apiVersion: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/v1alpha1 kind: DPUServiceChain metadata: annotations: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/dpuservicechain-version: e4b5c6d5e1 finalizers: - dpu.nvidia.com/dpuservicechain labels: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/owned-by-dpudeployment: producer-consumer-dpudeployment name: producer-consumer-vpn7w namespace: customer-namespace spec: ... template: spec: template: spec: switches: - ports: - serviceInterface: matchLabels: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/service: producer svc.dpu.nvidia.com/interface: app-iface - serviceInterface: matchLabels: svc.dpu.nvidia.com/service: consumer svc.dpu.nvidia.com/interface: app-iface2 ...


Disruptive DPUServiceChain Update

Updating "disruptive DPUServiceChains" involves creating a new instance for every new version. Up to revisionHistoryLimit instances can exist at a given time, e.g. when changes are made to the DPUDeployment.spec.serviceChains while no instance has reached a ready state yet.

1) Retrieve the DPUDeployment:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl get dpudeployment producer-consumer -n customer-namespace NAME READY PHASE AGE producer-consumer True Success 36m

2) Make the DPUServiceChain disruptive by changing the upgradePolicy.applyNodeEffect:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl patch dpudeployment producer-consumer \ -n customer-namespace \ --type='json' \ -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/serviceChains/upgradePolicy/applyNodeEffect", "value": true }]'

3) As an example let's update the first Switch port interface:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl patch dpudeployment producer-consumer \ -n customer-namespace \ --type='json' \ -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/serviceChains/switches/0/ports/1/service/interface", "value":"app-iface2"}]'

4) The DPUServiceChain should be updated by the DPUDeployment controller by adding a new version:

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl get dpuservicechains -n customer-namespace NAME READY PHASE AGE producer-consumer-vpn7w True Success 25m producer-consumer-rwe67 False Pending 1m

Once the new version is ready, the DPUDeployment controller garbage collect the previous versions.

Copy
Copied!
            

$ kubectl get dpuservicechains -n customer-namespace NAME READY PHASE AGE producer-consumer-rwe67 True Success 5m

DPUService and BFB version matching

DPUDeployment has the capability of checking if the version constraints defined by the DPUService resources are satisfied against the BFB. A relevant condition in the DPUDeployment reflects whether the user provided BFB and DPUServices is a valid combination that can work. Below is an example of the condition when a mismatched combination is configured:

Copy
Copied!
            

- lastTransitionTime: "2025-02-10T07:59:58Z" message: 'Error occurred: version constraint for ''dpu.nvidia.com/doca-version'' found in DPUServiceTemplate ''producer'' is not satisfied by the version ''2.9.1'' found in the given BFB' observedGeneration: 1 reason: Error status: "False" type: VersionMatchingReady


Debugging DPUDeployments

There are several ways to debug DPUDeployments in DPF. The recommended way is to use the dpfctl command line tool to describe the DPUDeployment and its underlying objects. The dpfctl tool provides a detailed description of the DPUDeployment and its underlying objects, including the status of the objects.
