Prometheus

Prometheus ServiceMonitor for metrics scraping

Parameter	Description	Default
prometheus.enable	Create a Prometheus ServiceMonitor resource	false

Cluster Runtime Configuration

Cluster-wide runtime configuration for AIM resources. Creates an AIMClusterRuntimeConfig CR when enabled.

Parameter	Description	Default
clusterRuntimeConfig.enable	Enable creation of the AIMClusterRuntimeConfig resource	false
clusterRuntimeConfig.name	Name of the AIMClusterRuntimeConfig resource	default

acceleratorDetector

AcceleratorDetector DaemonSets for hardware detection via NFD. Detects GPU and CPU accelerators on cluster nodes and writes NFD feature files so that AIM profiles can target specific hardware. Requires NFD (Node Feature Discovery) to be installed on the cluster.

Parameter	Description	Default
acceleratorDetector.enable	Enable the AcceleratorDetector DaemonSets	true
acceleratorDetector.detectInterval	Seconds between re-detection cycles	300
acceleratorDetector.gpu	GPU node detection (uses aim-base image with ROCm/amdsmi). Detects AMD Instinct GPUs and writes NFD labels like feature.node.kubernetes.io/aim-accelerator.MI300X=8 Only scheduled on nodes with feature.node.kubernetes.io/amd-gpu=true (set by the AMD GPU Operator NFD rule).
acceleratorDetector.gpu.enable	Enable GPU accelerator detection DaemonSet	true
acceleratorDetector.gpu.image.repository	GPU detector image repository (aim-base)	docker.io/amdenterpriseai/aim-base
acceleratorDetector.gpu.image.tag	GPU detector image tag	0.11
acceleratorDetector.gpu.image.pullPolicy	Image pull policy	IfNotPresent
acceleratorDetector.gpu.imagePullSecrets	Secrets for pulling the GPU detector image from private registries	[]
acceleratorDetector.gpu.nodeSelector	Node selector to target GPU nodes (requires AMD GPU Operator NFD rule)	{feature.node.kubernetes.io/amd-gpu: "true"}
acceleratorDetector.gpu.tolerations	Tolerations for GPU nodes (defaults to tolerate all taints)	[{operator: Exists}]
acceleratorDetector.gpu.resources	Resource limits and requests for GPU detector pods
acceleratorDetector.cpu	CPU node detection (uses aim-epyc-base image, lighter, no ROCm). Detects AMD EPYC CPUs and writes NFD labels like feature.node.kubernetes.io/aim-accelerator.EPYC_9965=128 Only scheduled on nodes WITHOUT feature.node.kubernetes.io/amd-gpu label (i.e. CPU-only nodes).
acceleratorDetector.cpu.enable	Enable CPU accelerator detection DaemonSet	true
acceleratorDetector.cpu.image.repository	CPU detector image repository (aim-epyc-base)	docker.io/amdenterpriseai/aim-epyc-base
acceleratorDetector.cpu.image.tag	CPU detector image tag	0.11
acceleratorDetector.cpu.image.pullPolicy	Image pull policy	IfNotPresent
acceleratorDetector.cpu.imagePullSecrets	Secrets for pulling the CPU detector image from private registries	[]
acceleratorDetector.cpu.nodeSelector	Node selector for CPU-only nodes (no additional selector needed; the DaemonSet uses nodeAffinity DoesNotExist on the amd-gpu label)	{}
acceleratorDetector.cpu.tolerations	Tolerations for CPU detector pods (defaults to tolerate all taints)	[{operator: Exists}]
acceleratorDetector.cpu.resources	Resource limits and requests for CPU detector pods
