Rules that apply · 1

Every rule whose selector covers this component's kind or its category. Whether a rule fires depends on the design: its properties, its edges and its groups.

stateful-node-without-zone-redundancy

A stateful compute node pinned to exactly one availability zone disappears with that zone, and its state goes with it. Nodes inside a cell are exempt, because there the cell is deliberately single-zone and redundancy comes from the other cells.

  • — all of these hold:
  • — the node's `stateless` is false
  • — the node sits inside exactly 1 availability-zone group
  • — this does not hold:
  • — the node sits inside at least one cell group

# Cluster Director: automated lifecycle management for AI and HPC clusters of compute- and
# accelerator-optimized Compute Engine instances ("Cluster Director overview"). It ships a managed
# Slurm environment for job scheduling, topology-aware scheduling that colocates instances, and
# autohealing that replaces failed instances; capacity is scaled by editing machine configurations.
