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 redundancyerror

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

Use it in a design

3# OpenAI-compatible API. Per "Environment Variables", the server listens on NIM_SERVER_PORT 8000 and NGC_API_KEY is
4# required to download models. Production use needs an NVIDIA AI Enterprise licence; the NVIDIA-hosted endpoints of the
5# same NIMs are nvidia-nim-api.
