values.yaml set dcgm-exporter.nodeSelector to the GKE accelerator label. Helm merges maps, so the nodeSelector: {} in values-aws.yaml and values-aks.yaml could not remove it, and values-ack.yaml got it on top of its own labels: the exporter scheduled on no node outside GKE. The default is now empty, and the AWS and AKS overlays select the sie.superlinked.com/node-type=gpu label their terraform modules set on GPU nodes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Configuration Updates
    • On AKS and AWS, DCGM Exporter now schedules only on nodes labeled as GPU nodes.
    • The default DCGM Exporter configuration no longer assumes GKE accelerator labels; GPU node selection is configured in cloud-specific settings.
  • Tests
    • Added checks to verify GPU node selection for cloud-specific configurations and the default configuration.

📝 Walkthrough

The default DCGM Exporter node selector is now empty. AWS and AKS values select GPU nodes by node-type label. Helm render tests check selectors across cloud overlays and the default configuration.

Changes: DCGM Exporter node selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and validate GPU node selection
deploy/helm/sie-cluster/values.yaml, deploy/helm/sie-cluster/values-aws.yaml, deploy/helm/sie-cluster/values-aks.yaml, tools/ci/tests/test_helm_render.py
The default selector no longer sets the GKE accelerator label. AWS and AKS select nodes labeled sie.superlinked.com/node-type: gpu. Render tests check AWS, AKS, ACK, GKE, and default selectors.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8c8e4

Deployments that override the GPU node-type label can leave DCGM Exporter without an eligible node on AWS or AKS. Reserve that label in both GPU-pool configurations before merging if those configurations are supported.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8c8e4

The change corrects cross-cloud scheduling while keeping the exporter disabled by default. Enabling it without a cloud overlay now removes the shared GPU-node restriction. Effective exporter privileges, provisioning-label guarantees, and production upgrade behavior remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The directly affected boundary is exporter node eligibility within the deployment cluster. The configuration change does not itself establish additional IAM, secret, or host privileges; determining whether wider eligibility expands sensitive access requires the unavailable exporter pod specification.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — AWS and AKS placement relies on the authority assigning the generic GPU node label. The overlays name Terraform GPU pools as its producer, but render assertions verify only the consumer selector, not label provenance or exclusivity.

`sie.superlinked.com/node-type` is always `gpu`, even when
`gpu_node_pools[*].labels` supplies that key; apply the required value after
merging caller-provided labels. Preserve other custom labels and leave the AKS

Thanks for tracking this down. A nodeSelector: {} overlay cannot clear a key from the chart default, so the exporter never scheduled outside GKE, and moving the GPU labels into each cloud overlay fixes that. The render test covers each overlay and CI is green. Approving.

Optional follow-ups:

  • Installs that enable the exporter without a cloud overlay now schedule it on every node, including CPU nodes. A note next to dcgm-exporter.nodeSelector in values.yaml asking those users to set a GPU node label would help.
  • The AWS and AKS selectors rely on labels the Terraform modules set, so a short comment that clusters built another way should override the selector would help those users.
  • The PR title is cut off with an ellipsis.

Thanks again. #809 just merged and also appended tests to the end of tools/ci/tests/test_helm_render.py, so this branch now conflicts there. Could you merge origin/main and keep both sets of tests? Nothing else conflicts. I will re-approve once CI is green.
