Summary

Integrate Kubernetes Launch Kit (l8k) as a generic AI Cloud Validation provider and add six individually selectable Network Operator east-west networking use cases:

  • EastWestNetworkRoceSriovCheck
  • EastWestNetworkInfiniBandSriovCheck
  • EastWestNetworkRoceRdmaSharedCheck
  • EastWestNetworkInfiniBandRdmaSharedCheck
  • EastWestNetworkRoceHostDeviceCheck
  • EastWestNetworkInfiniBandHostDeviceCheck

Each selected use case executes the native Launch Kit workflow in order: Kubernetes preflight, discover, generate, deploy, validate, then linked clean teardown. Fabric and deployment labels allow selecting Ethernet/RoCE versus InfiniBand and SR-IOV, RDMA Shared, or host-device workflows; all six run by default.

Launch Kit integration

  • Add a generic provider that exposes raw Launch Kit argv instead of duplicating Launch Kit's schema or defaults.
  • Support verification of an existing l8k, or downloading, installing, and verifying a requested release.
  • Require a reachable Kubernetes cluster and ready worker nodes before mutation.
  • Preserve command envelopes, stdout/stderr, discovered topology, generated manifests, Kubernetes status, validation results, HTML reports, and cleanup output as evidence.
  • Reuse globally registered semantic checks for deployment health, SR-IOV, RDMA Shared, host-device, RoCE/InfiniBand, secondary networks, ICMP, rping, host-memory bandwidth, GPUDirect DMA-BUF bandwidth, topology, and evidence.
  • Treat a one-rail topology as inapplicable to the multi-rail member: it is reported as skipped without failing or skipping the parent use case.
  • Keep all test doubles under test fixtures; production YAML invokes real l8k and kubectl.
  • Add PRD requirement sources, traceability, catalog entries, labels, prerequisites, usage documentation, and an implementation/design guide.

Launch Kit owns all domain defaults. Product configuration leaves generate, deploy, validate, and clean argv empty and does not store a bandwidth threshold or GPUDirect setting.

GPUDirect DMA-BUF

  • Update the audited Launch Kit contract to main commit db32e4b98170.
  • Register LaunchKitGpuDirectRdmaCheck as K8S42-07 and compose it into all six use cases.
  • Consume Launch Kit's real Family: gpudirect_dmabuf matrix rows; do not add a fourth --validation-checks value. GPUDirect follows ib_write_bw when validation.gpuDirect.enabled is true.
  • Report each source/destination/rail pair as a subtest with endpoint GPU indices, optional PCI addresses, observed bandwidth, minimum threshold, stderr, and Launch Kit's structured error.
  • Reject green rows that lack valid endpoint GPU indices.
  • Skip only when Launch Kit emits no GPUDirect family because discovery disabled it or ib_write_bw was not selected. Emitted topology or execution failures fail the containing use case.
  • Add a gpudirect label. It selects all six GPU-capable use-case definitions; Launch Kit output determines applicability inside each one.
  • Update the mock-only Launch Kit output to the latest discovered-config shape, generated full-runtime DOCA container GPU requests, and all four connectivity result families.

Framework changes and bug fixes

  • Discover suites recursively so provider-specific suites can live in dedicated folders.
  • Add named orchestration phases and readable phase summaries.
  • Add validation-aware lifecycle pruning so unselected use cases do not mutate the cluster.
  • Add continue_after_failure for independent use-case phases.
  • Add finalizer_for so cleanup runs after any attempted deployment, including deploy, validation, or reporting failure.
  • Preserve step-failure ownership through validation and JUnit; a failed deploy reports the use case as an error instead of a misleading skip.
  • Terminate complete process groups on timeout so child l8k/kubectl processes cannot leak.
  • Extend CompositeCheck with nested probe reporting and member-level skip semantics.
  • Improve compact orchestration summaries, skipped-result visibility, structured subtest messages, and JUnit counter reconciliation.
  • Add support for rendering and validating project-specific requirement sources.
  • Preserve behavior for configs without command groups when a live validation fails.

These framework capabilities are generic and documented for other providers and tests.

Verification

  • Built the latest Launch Kit checkout and verified its live l8k schema contract.
  • Full repository test suite passed:
    • isvctl: 1,705 passed
    • isvreporter: 58 passed
    • isvtest: 1,683 passed, 175 deselected
    • scripts: 128 passed
  • Focused Launch Kit tests: 25 semantic-check tests and 38 provider/orchestrator tests passed.
  • make lint: passed for all packages.
  • make pre-commit: passed for all packages.
  • make build: passed for all wheels.
  • Catalog coverage and suite-wiring guards passed for 265 mapped classes.
  • make reqcheck: 366 tests validated; 279 requirements mapped.
  • Earlier live RoCE SR-IOV workflow on a two-node Ubuntu 24.04 single-rail cluster passed for the pre-GPUDirect contract; Launch Kit cleanup completed and multi-rail was skipped as inapplicable.

Known gaps

  • GPUDirect integration is mock/unit-qualified but still needs representative live GPU/NIC/DMA-BUF qualification.
  • Full pre-test state restoration remains deferred; l8k clean removes the selected deployment but does not provide a snapshot/restore transaction.
  • AI Cloud Labs receives the run log, JUnit, and catalog output, but arbitrary binary evidence attachment upload needs a framework attachment contract.
  • Typed catalog ownership and Enterprise/NCP required-versus-optional policy metadata remain future framework work.
  • RoCE SR-IOV is live-qualified for the earlier host-memory validation path; the other five profiles and the new GPUDirect path require applicable live clusters.

Latest update

  • Add context.k8s_launch_kit.user_config as the provider-wide path to a complete Launch Kit configuration. The adapter stages an isolated copy for each selected use case and binds it only to l8k discover, which writes the resolved cluster-config.yaml used by the remaining native workflow.
  • Allow StepConfig.timeout: null as a documented generic framework contract when a child tool owns a bounded deadline. Launch Kit validate steps use it so l8k’s matrix-derived or explicitly configured connectivity budget is not preempted by isvctl.
  • Current verification: full make test (1,705 isvctl, 58 isvreporter, 1,683 selected isvtest, and 128 script tests), make lint, make pre-commit, make build, make plan, and make reqcheck all pass.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 505cf

The PR adds Kubernetes Launch Kit workflows and orchestration behavior, but the current implementation can trigger cleanup after a process-start failure and can report an unready DaemonSet as healthy; related tests may also obscure setup failures and diagnostics. Merge readiness is moderate until these bounded correctness issues are addressed or explicitly accepted.

attempted is only cleared for FileNotFoundError, so the finalizer safety gate has a hole. loop.py runs a finalizer only when its target step reports attempted=True. _execute_step clears attempted for FileNotFoundError alone, and the generic except Exception handler keeps the default True for every other Popen start failure, such as PermissionError on a non-executable script or NotADirectoryError on an unresolved working_dir. Destructive cleanup then runs for a target that never started.

  • isvctl/src/isvctl/orchestrator/step_executor.py#L436-L454: replace except FileNotFoundError with except OSError as e and keep attempted=False, so every failure to start the process is reported as not attempted.

Resolve the mapping once instead of repeating the isinstance guard.

The same isinstance(raw_subtests, dict) test runs three times. Normalizing once is shorter and keeps the three counts consistent.

The or 0 also stops int(None) from raising TypeError if a producer emits a null count.

Compare gate declarations order-independently.

The check uses list equality. Two steps that declare the same gates in a different order are reported as mismatched. For example, requires: [kubernetes, vm] on the target and requires: [vm, kubernetes] on the finalizer raise a validation error, although both express the same gate. validate_requires already rejects duplicates, so a set comparison is safe.

♻️ Proposed refactor
             mismatched_gates = [
                 field_name

Consider a ceiling for the disabled watchdog on launch_kit_validate.

timeout: null removes the orchestration watchdog. run_command_process then calls communicate(timeout=None), so the step blocks until l8k validate exits. The comment explains that l8k owns the deadline. If l8k itself hangs, for example during a connectivity matrix on a partitioned fabric, the run has no escape and a CI job holds its runner until the platform kills it.

Two options keep the intent and bound the worst case:

  • Set a generous outer ceiling, for example timeout: 14400, above every budget l8k can compute.
  • Keep null and enforce the ceiling in the job scheduler that invokes isvctl.

Document whichever bound you choose next to this comment so the operator knows where the deadline lives.

Extend this test to a start failure that is not FileNotFoundError.

The test proves the invariant for a missing command only. subprocess.Popen raises other OSError subclasses when the process cannot start, and StepExecutor._execute_step catches those in its generic except Exception handler, which leaves attempted at its default True. A finalizer then runs cleanup for a target that never started.

Add a case with a non-executable script, which raises PermissionError.

Use a sentinel for the section tracker and emit one heading per section.

section starts as None. If the first requirement omits section, then requirement.get("section") also returns None, the condition is false, and the table header row is never written. The rows then render as plain text instead of a Markdown table.

The running comparison also assumes the requirements are already grouped by section. Interleaved sections repeat the same heading and header row.

A sentinel plus itertools.groupby on a sorted view fixes both cases.

Addressed all seven CodeRabbit findings in amended commit 505cfa9: corrected the transport example and catalog note; made complete user configs transient and retained only safe provenance; made installer execution require an immutable commit plus a trusted SHA-256; completed subtest totals with legacy fallback; rejected missing or invalid DaemonSet rollout counts; and added the missing helper docstring. Added regression coverage for each functional/security path and regenerated the test-plan output. Validation is clean: 1,713 isvctl tests, 58 isvreporter tests, 1,687 isvtest unit-selected tests, 128 script tests, Ruff lint, requirements traceability, plan coverage, and suite wiring. All review threads are resolved.

55-65: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Include stderr when the provider emits non-JSON stdout.

json.loads(completed.stdout) raises json.JSONDecodeError when the adapter crashes before it prints its envelope. The traceback then hides the adapter's stderr and exit code, which are the only useful diagnostics. Attach both to the failure.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-    output = json.loads(completed.stdout)
+    try:
+        output = json.loads(completed.stdout)
+    except json.JSONDecodeError as error:
+        raise AssertionError(

Assert the prerequisite workflow commands succeeded.

The test discards both _run_workflow results. If discover or generate fails, the later assertions on validate fail for an unrelated reason. Other tests in this file assert returncode == 0 for the same setup steps, for example Line 656.

Live cluster validation artifacts

I ran the production provider end to end on 2026-08-14 with l8k v26.7.0-rc.2
(abec1f4) against a live RTX Pro cluster. This run selected the Ethernet
SR-IOV and Ethernet RDMA Shared use cases only, using destination-based routing
and ignoreARP: false.

Results:

  • RoCE SR-IOV: discovery, generation, deployment, static validation, and
    cleanup completed; 14/14 generated resources were ready; connectivity was
    312/384 passed.
  • RoCE RDMA Shared: discovery, generation, deployment, static validation,
    and cleanup completed; 10/10 generated resources were ready; connectivity
    was 312/384 passed.
  • In both use cases, same-rail ICMP passed 24/24, and all rping,
    ib_write_bw, and GPUDirect DMA-BUF expectations passed 96/96 per family.
  • The 72 failures per use case were all cross-rail ICMP probes: they connected
    while destination-based routing expected cross-rail isolation.
  • Launch Kit calculated a 2h8m45s matrix budget for each use case; each
    validation completed in about 24.5 minutes without an outer-suite timeout.
  • Both linked l8k clean finalizers passed. Post-run verification found no
    Network Operator Helm release, CRs, or validation pods left on the cluster.

Artifacts:

The archive contains the console log, JUnit XML, per-command argv/exit
code/stdout/stderr evidence, resolved cluster configurations, generated
manifests, and both HTML reports. It contains no kubeconfig body, certificates,
private keys, tokens, passwords, or retained complete user configuration; only
the input path, size, and SHA-256 provenance were recorded. AI Cloud Labs upload
was intentionally disabled for this run.
