…ation NVCA's mutating webhook attaches an IMEX ComputeDomain channel resource claim to every GPU-requesting Pod on an NVLink-optimized cluster, regardless of whether the Pod actually needs cross-node NVLink memory sharing. Since each node exposes only one DRA channel device, this makes any claiming Pod the exclusive GPU tenant of its node, capping bin-packing at one GPU Pod per node cluster-wide. Keep today's default behavior (always allocate when NVLinkOptimized is enabled), and add an explicit per-function opt-out: a new DisableNVLinkComputeDomain key recognized in the existing nvcf-workload-config ConfigMap mechanism. A function that does not need cross-node NVLink can set this flag to skip ComputeDomain and channel claim allocation entirely. The reconciler already decodes the workload config once per install and now also carries the whole decoded WorkloadConfig through the existing nvcf-miniservice-metadata ConfigMap, so the admission webhook can read workload-level feature flags (this one today, others in the future) without new plumbing per flag. The webhook gates its NVLink DRA mutation (claim attachment and domain scheduling affinity) on the same flag at the call site in mutate(), where MiniserviceMetadata is already in scope.

…omputeDomain The nvcf-workload-config ConfigMap mechanism was only documented inline inside the worker-readiness instance health walkthrough. Give it a top-level "Workload configuration" section describing the mechanism generically and listing recognized feature flags, including the new DisableNVLinkComputeDomain flag added in this branch. Link to it from the NVLink scheduling section and from the worker-readiness section, which now only covers what StatusByWorkerReadiness does rather than repeating the ConfigMap mechanism.

- Around line 101-103: Update the DisableNVLinkComputeDomain documentation to
state that enabling it skips ComputeDomain and IMEX resource-claim allocation
and removes NVLink Pod scheduling affinity. Revise the default mutation list in
the workload configuration section and the additional description to clarify
that NVLink affinity is not retained when this flag is enabled.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winDelete the existing ComputeDomain when the opt-out is enabled. A Helm/workload update can change
DisableNVLinkComputeDomain, butdoUpdateWorkloadonly applies workload objects and saves the new config. It does not delete the existing infra-owned ComputeDomain. If reconciliation later reaches this gate,createalso skips an existing object instead of deleting it. The ComputeDomain and its IMEX channel claim can therefore remain allocated after the workload opts out. Add a transition cleanup path that deletes the previously owned ComputeDomain and releases its claim.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

TL;DR
Adds a per-function opt-out for NVCA's NVLink
ComputeDomainand IMEXchannel claim allocation: a new
DisableNVLinkComputeDomainkey in theexisting
nvcf-workload-configConfigMap mechanism. Default behavior isunchanged; a function that does not need cross-node NVLink can set the
flag to skip
ComputeDomain/claim allocation entirely.Additional Details (optional for docs, build, test, refactor, ci, chore, style, and revert PRs)
IMEX
ComputeDomainchannel resource claim to every GPU-requestingPod, regardless of whether it needs cross-node NVLink memory sharing.
Since each node exposes only one DRA channel device, this makes any
claiming Pod the exclusive GPU tenant of its node, capping
bin-packing at one GPU Pod per node cluster-wide.
NVLinkOptimizedis enabled) rather than flipping the default, soexisting functions are unaffected unless they opt out.
internal/miniservice/reconcile.go)already decodes the workload config once per install; it now also
carries the whole decoded
WorkloadConfigthrough the existingnvcf-miniservice-metadataConfigMap(
pkg/types/miniservice_types.go,internal/miniservice/metadata_configmap.go), so the admissionwebhook can read workload-level feature flags generically, not just
this one, without new plumbing per flag.
pkg/webhook/miniservice_mutating_webhook.go) gates itsNVLink DRA mutation (claim attachment and domain scheduling affinity)
on the same flag at the call site in
mutate(), whereMiniserviceMetadatais already in scope.For the Reviewer
Closest look please at the
MetadataInput/MiniserviceMetadataplumbing (
internal/miniservice/metadata_configmap.go,pkg/types/miniservice_types.go) and the two gating sites: thereconciler's
ComputeDomaincreation(
internal/miniservice/reconcile.go) and the webhook'smutateNVLinkDRAcall site (pkg/webhook/miniservice_mutating_webhook.go).For QA (optional for docs, build, test, refactor, ci, chore, style, and revert PRs)
Ran
go test ./pkg/featureflag/... ./pkg/types/... ./pkg/webhook/... ./internal/miniservice/...(including envtest-backed controller tests) for the
nvcamodule; allpass. New/updated test coverage:
pkg/featureflag/featureflag_workload_test.go(new flag decodes and survives unknown-key filtering),
pkg/webhook/miniservice_mutating_webhook_test.go(
TestMiniserviceOperatorWebhook_NVLinkComputeDomain_DisableViaWorkloadConfig),and
internal/miniservice/reconcile_test.go(
TestReconcile_Function_NVLinkOptimizednow asserts onComputeDomainobject counts across default, required-domain, and opted-out cases).
