Proposed changes
This change adds (optional) new configuration to the engine container spec to set a
postStartlifecycle command hook.The motivation for this change comes from encountering difficulty running the Flux model on Google Kubernetes Engine. Following the guide for running GPUs in GKE does not use Nvidia's GPU Operator to configure nodes for use with CUDA applications and instead follows a similar but slightly different configuration approach that relies on the
LD_LIBRARY_PATHenvironment variable to access the Nvidia drivers and CUDA libraries.Due to the technical complexities of operating Flux, its startup process actually clears this environment variable early (but not immediately) in the start up sequence. A simple solution to this problem is for the engine container to run ldconfig to create the necessary run time bindings prior to the engine startup, which Kubernetes facilitates with this
postStarthook.Use of the
toJsonfunction ensures proper formatting of thecommandvalue:Relevant information from Google's documentation:
