Why

After #1998 each stack is its own Fern product, but the navigation inside Self-Managed and Compute Plane still mirrored the pre-split flat tree. A content inventory found:

  • The GPU cluster registration flow (compute-plane environment file, make register-cluster, NVCA operator install) was written six times across Helmfile Installation Steps 7-8, the CSP example, the registration guide, Quickstart, and the local-development pages.
  • helmfile-installation.md (about 6,300 words) was the only environment-file reference for the control plane and duplicated the NVCF UI and gateway pages.
  • Section names did not follow the user journey, NVCA troubleshooting lived in the Self-Managed product, and developer-only pages (architecture, k3d flows, fake GPU operator) sat in customer navigation.

Plan and inventory: #2022.

What changed

Overview

  • New Installation Guide page: plan, install the control plane, register a GPU cluster, deploy functions, operate, each linking into the owning product. Landing page "Getting started" now lists Quickstart, Installation Guide, Using Cloud Functions.
  • Development section removed; a Developer Guide link joins the stack links.

Developer Guide (new unversioned product, slug developer-guide)

  • Architecture Overview, Local Development with the four k3d flows, Fake GPU Operator, sourced from docs/dev/. The k3d flow pages moved from docs/overview/local-development/ to docs/dev/local-development/; the two symlinks into docs/dev are removed.

Self-Managed Stack

  • Sections: Install, Configure (Gateway and Networking, Function Features, Registries, NVCF UI, Pod Disruption Budgets), Operate, Reference.
  • helmfile-installation.md: control plane only (6,348 to 3,603 words). Steps 7-8 replaced by a pointer to the registration guide; Step 2 shortened with the full content moved to a new Environment File Reference page; UI and vanity gateway subsections reduced to pointers.
  • csp-end-to-end-example-installation.md: EKS-specific values kept as tables, shared steps link to the canonical pages (3,227 to 2,037 words).
  • installation.md: install path chooser only (727 to 409 words).
  • third-party-registries.md and registry-allowlist.md merged into registries.md.
  • NVCA sections of troubleshooting.md moved to a new Compute Plane troubleshooting page (4,608 to 3,187 words).

Compute Plane Stack

  • Sections: Register a GPU Cluster, Configure (Cluster Configuration, Scheduling), Caches, Operate, Reference.
  • cluster-management/index.md merged into cluster-management/self-managed.md, retitled "Register a GPU Cluster" (slug register-gpu-cluster; file path unchanged because docs-version-sync writes into it).
  • The 18 external DDCS and UCC nav links collapse into caches.md and runbooks/caches.md.

Links and redirects

  • Versionless product links resolve against the product's default version, which is the frozen 1.0.0. Links to pages that exist only in dev (Registries, Compute Plane Troubleshooting) use /nvcf/<product>/dev/<slug>; the convention is recorded in docs/AGENTS.md. The 1.0.0 compute-plane nav carries the register-gpu-cluster slug so that link resolves in both versions.
  • Redirects added for every removed or renamed slug (registration guide, setup landing page, registries, developer-guide pages, 1.0.0 registration slug).
  • Frozen 1.0.0 page content is unchanged; only the compute-plane 1.0.0 nav entry gained a slug and title.

Review guide

Use the Fern preview link posted on this PR.

  1. Overview product: check the sidebar order (Overview, four product links, Quickstart, Installation Guide, Release Notes, Before You Deploy, Using Cloud Functions, Load Testing, Managed (Legacy)). Open Installation Guide and follow each of the five stage links; they should land in the right product.
  2. Developer Guide: switch products. Confirm Architecture Overview, the Local Development section with four flows, and Fake GPU Operator render, and that nothing developer-only remains in Overview or Compute Plane.
  3. Self-Managed Stack, dev version: sidebar should read Install / Configure / Operate / Reference. Open Helmfile Installation and confirm it ends after verification with a "next: register a GPU cluster" pointer, that Step 2 links to Environment File Reference, and that Registries covers both credentials and allowlisting.
  4. Compute Plane Stack, dev version: sidebar should read Register a GPU Cluster / Configure / Caches / Operate / Reference. Open Register a GPU Cluster and confirm the prerequisites and keys table from the old landing page appear at the top, then the register and install steps. Open Simulation Caches and confirm the DDCS and UCC link lists. Open Troubleshooting and confirm the NVCA sections and force-cleanup script.
  5. Spot-check redirects: /nvcf/compute-plane/self-managed-clusters, /nvcf/compute-plane/gpu-cluster-setup, /nvcf/self-managed/third-party-registries, /nvcf/overview/local-development, /nvcf/compute-plane/fake-gpu-operator.
  6. Self-Managed and Compute Plane 1.0.0 versions should look as before apart from the retitled "Register a GPU Cluster" entry.

Customer Release Notes

Documentation is regrouped by task: an Installation Guide walks from planning through operations, the Self-Managed and Compute Plane sections follow that order, and developer-only content moves to a separate Developer Guide.

Plan Summary

Usage

Not applicable

Testing

  • fern check: 0 errors (1 warning: redirect validation requires fern login).
  • markdownlint over all tracked markdown: 0 violations.
  • ./tools/ci/check-doc-version-sync: pass (generated blocks untouched; cluster-management/self-managed.md and reference.md keep their paths and markers).
  • QA needed: preview walkthrough per the review guide above.

Notes

  • One intentional duplication remains: Quickstart and the Developer Guide single-cluster CLI flow describe the same k3d install at different depths. Quickstart is the evaluator path; the Developer Guide page is the maintainer reference.
  • When the next train is frozen, the /dev/ cross-product links to Registries and Compute Plane Troubleshooting should drop the /dev/ segment.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a staged Installation Guide covering planning, control-plane setup, GPU-cluster registration, deployment, and operations.
    • Added comprehensive environment configuration, registry allowlisting, cache runbook, and compute-plane troubleshooting guidance.
    • Updated GPU cluster registration documentation with authentication, permissions, supported versions, upgrades, and caching details.
    • Reorganized documentation navigation with a new Developer Guide and clearer Install, Configure, Operate, and Reference sections.
    • Consolidated and refreshed links across quickstarts, CLI workflows, Helmfile installation, registries, and self-managed deployment examples.
    • Removed obsolete or duplicated setup, troubleshooting, and registry pages.

… Guide

The Self-Managed and Compute Plane products kept the pre-split flat
layout: the GPU cluster registration flow was written six times, the
Helmfile installation page doubled as the only environment-file
reference, and section names did not follow the order in which users
install the control plane, register a compute plane, and operate.

Overview gains an Installation Guide that walks the journey and links
into each product. A new unversioned Developer Guide product holds the
architecture, local k3d flows, and fake GPU operator pages, sourced
from docs/dev. Self-Managed is grouped into Install, Configure,
Operate, and Reference; the Helmfile page covers the control plane
only, its environment section becomes an Environment File Reference,
the CSP example keeps only EKS deltas, and the two registry pages
merge. Compute Plane is grouped into Register a GPU Cluster, Configure,
Caches, Operate, and Reference; the setup landing page merges into the
registration guide, NVCA troubleshooting moves here from Self-Managed,
and the simulation cache external links collapse into one page.

Cross-product links to pages that exist only in dev use an explicit
/dev/ segment, because versionless product links resolve against the
frozen default version. Old URLs redirect.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/compute-plane/cluster-management/self-managed.md`:
- Line 57: Update the GPU Operator prerequisite section near the manual
instance-configuration guidance to explicitly identify manual configuration as
an exception for cloud providers without GPU Operator support, and document the
prerequisites required for that path; otherwise clarify that GPU Operator
installation remains mandatory.
- Line 47: Update the Kubernetes compatibility statement in the
cluster-management documentation to link the NVCA support matrix as the
authoritative source for supported minor versions, and adjust the N through N-2
range if it does not match that matrix.
- Line 43: Remove the “NVCF API Key (NAK)” authentication row from the
self-managed flow documentation. Ensure the remaining authentication guidance
reflects PSAT for NVCA and does not describe ngcConfig.serviceKey or generated
pull-secret configuration as the agent authentication mechanism.

In `@docs/compute-plane/troubleshooting.md`:
- Around line 154-156: Update the destructive cleanup flow around the kubectl
pod deletion to require an explicit Kubernetes target via kubeconfig or context
arguments, then confirm the selected context before executing any delete
operation. Ensure the same target is used by all relevant kubectl and Helm
commands and abort when the target is missing or unconfirmed.

In `@docs/dev/fake-gpu-operator.md`:
- Around line 163-164: Update the link text in the bootstrap-process reference
to “Register a GPU Cluster” while preserving the existing target URL and
surrounding “Manual Cluster Registration” context.

In `@docs/self-managed/csp-end-to-end-example-installation.md`:
- Around line 24-28: Update the prerequisite section near the control-plane and
compute-plane setup to require a compute-plane revision matching the
nvcf-self-managed-stack bundle. Add the appropriate release or commit checkout
command alongside the existing git clone instructions, rather than leaving the
repository on its default branch.

In `@docs/self-managed/environment-reference.md`:
- Around line 183-186: Restore the global mapping in all listed environment
snippets: in docs/self-managed/environment-reference.md lines 183-186 nest
domain under global; lines 223-224 nest nodeSelectors under global; lines
278-280 nest helm.sources under global; and lines 289-292 nest image under
global, matching the full example’s structure.

In `@docs/self-managed/nvcf-ui.md`:
- Around line 47-48: Add namespace-specific commands for creating the nvcf-ui
image-pull secret in the referenced installation guidance, or update the link to
point to instructions that include them, ensuring private-registry UI
deployments avoid ImagePullBackOff.

In `@docs/self-managed/registries.md`:
- Line 575: Replace the invalid --kube-context option with --context in both
kubectl commands, preserving the existing KUBE_CONTEXT value and command
structure.
- Around line 574-577: Replace the broad pod-deletion command with a controlled
restart using kubectl rollout restart deployment/nvcf-api, or target a single
exact pod and wait for the rollout; do not delete all running API replicas via
the label and phase selectors.
- Around line 596-631: Update the “Rolling back” Helm instructions to avoid
persisting full values containing reversible registry credentials: use a 0600
temporary file with cleanup, or a minimal secret-free override with
--reuse-values, while preserving the steps for removing registry entries and
upgrading the release.

Remove the NAK authentication row from this self-managed flow. NVCA authenticates to the control plane with PSAT. The self-managed Helmfile disables generated pull-secret creation and uses global.imagePullSecrets; ngcConfig.serviceKey is not the agent authentication mechanism.

## Prerequisites

- The GPU cluster must run a compatible version of [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/releases/). Supported versions are the latest Kubernetes minor release and the two prior minor releases (N-2). See the Kubernetes [version skew policy](https://kubernetes.io/releases/version-skew-policy/#supported-versions).

Resolve the GPU Operator prerequisite contradiction.

Line 51 says manual instance configuration is possible when a cloud provider does not support the GPU Operator. Line 57 then says the GPU Operator must be installed. State whether manual configuration is an exception and document its required prerequisites. Otherwise, the fallback path cannot be followed.

Require an explicit Kubernetes target before destructive cleanup.

The script uses the current kubectl and Helm contexts without requiring --kubeconfig, --context, or context confirmation. Running it with the wrong context can delete resources in another cluster. Add explicit target arguments and verify the selected context before any delete operation.

Do not delete every running API pod.

This selector matches all running API pods. In a multi-replica deployment, the command removes every replica at once and can interrupt the control plane. Use kubectl rollout restart deployment/nvcf-api or delete one exact pod, then wait for the rollout.

Replace --kube-context with --context for kubectl.

--kube-context is not a kubectl option. Both kubectl commands will fail with an unknown-flag error. Use --context instead.

Suggested fix
-  --kube-context "${KUBE_CONTEXT}" \
+  --context "${KUBE_CONTEXT}" \

Use the nvcf-cli to create a function pointing at an image on the new registry:

```bash
IMAGE_PATH="<your-namespace>/<your-image>:<tag>"

nvcf-cli function create \
--name "registry-allowlist-test-$(date +%s)" \
--image "${REG_HOSTNAME}/${IMAGE_PATH}" \
--inference-url "/health" --inference-port 8080 \
--health-uri "/health" --health-timeout PT30S
```

Expected: a 2xx response with a function id and version id. Before this change, the same call returned `400 Missing CONTAINER registry for hostname '${REG_HOSTNAME}'`.

The create call succeeds even if you have not registered a credential for `${REG_HOSTNAME}` in the NVCF credential store. The workload pod will fail later with `ErrImagePull` if the kubelet cannot pull the image; pulling is the cluster's responsibility, not NVCF's.

### Rolling back

To remove the registry, delete the entries from the chart's persisted values:

```bash
helm get values api -n nvcf --kube-context "${KUBE_CONTEXT}" -o yaml > values.yaml
# Edit values.yaml to remove the api.env.NVCF_REGISTRIES_RECOGNIZED_CONTAINER_${REG_KEY}_* keys
helm upgrade api "oci://nvcr.io/${ORG_PATH}/helm-nvcf-api" \
--version "${CHART_VERSION}" --namespace nvcf \
--kube-context "${KUBE_CONTEXT}" \
-f values.yaml
```

Then repeat Step 2 (force rollout) and Step 3 (verify the env vars are gone). After rollback, function create against the registry returns the original `400 Missing CONTAINER registry for hostname` error.

### Important notes

This procedure does not pull the image. The cluster is responsible for that. The kubelet (or the worker init container) must already have a way to authenticate to the registry. Common paths are an auto-injected image pull secret on the workload namespace (for example via Kyverno), or a kubelet integration provided by the cloud (for example ECR, GCR, and ACR on CSP-managed clusters where node IAM lets the kubelet pull without an explicit secret).

The `REG_KEY` you choose is a Spring Boot map key. Use anything short and uppercase that is not already in use by a built-in registry (`DOCKER`, `NGC`, `ECR`, `ECR_PUBLIC`, `VOLCENGINE`, `ACR`).

Do not persist the full Helm values during rollback. api.accountBootstrap.registryCredentials[].secret.value contains reversible, base64-encoded registry credentials. For a release with registry credentials, the documented helm get values ... -o yaml > values.yaml command can write those credentials to a persistent local file.

This section is for customers deploying the `helm-nvcf-api` chart who need to use a container registry that is not in the NVCF API's built-in recognized list. Examples include `ghcr.io`, an internal corporate registry, or any third-party registry that NVCF does not yet natively recognize.

The procedure registers the registry hostname with the NVCF API as a custom registry. Custom registries are not subject to artifact or credential validation, so function creation no longer fails with `Missing CONTAINER registry for hostname '<host>'`. The same steps work for any registry hostname. Only the `HOSTNAME` value and the registry key (`GHCR`, `INTERNAL`, `MYREG`, etc.) change.

Disable artifact validation for the custom registry.

The custom NAME and HOSTNAME entries use the default artifactValidation.enabled=true. Function creation therefore still checks for stored credentials and can return Missing CONTAINER registry credential. Add the disabled artifact-validation setting before documenting the 2xx result.

Suggested fix
   --set-string "api.env.NVCF_REGISTRIES_RECOGNIZED_CONTAINER_${REG_KEY}_NAME=${REG_NAME}" \
-  --set-string "api.env.NVCF_REGISTRIES_RECOGNIZED_CONTAINER_${REG_KEY}_HOSTNAME=${REG_HOSTNAME}"
+  --set-string "api.env.NVCF_REGISTRIES_RECOGNIZED_CONTAINER_${REG_KEY}_HOSTNAME=${REG_HOSTNAME}" \
+  --set-string "api.env.NVCF_REGISTRIES_RECOGNIZED_CONTAINER_${REG_KEY}_ARTIFACT_VALIDATION_ENABLED=false"

ARTIFACT_VALIDATION_ENABLED value to false before describing the successful 2xx
result, while preserving the existing NAME and HOSTNAME settings.
