Verification Checklist

Verify all prerequisites before deploying STT on Kubernetes

Pre-Deployment Checklist

Before proceeding, ensure each item passes:

1. Cluster Access

   kubectl get nodes
   

   Shows all cluster nodes in Ready state

2. GPU Nodes Available

   kubectl get nodes -o json | jq '.items[].status.capacity."nvidia.com/gpu"'
   

   Shows GPU count for GPU nodes

3. Helm Installed

   helm version
   

   Shows Helm 3.x

4. Storage Available

   kubectl get storageclass
   

   Shows at least one storage class

5. Credentials Ready

   • License key obtained
   • Container registry credentials
   • Model download URL
6. Sufficient Resources

   kubectl top nodes
   

   Shows available resources for deployment

7. Permissions Check

   kubectl auth can-i create deployments
   kubectl auth can-i create services
   kubectl auth can-i create secrets
   

   All return yes
