Recipe Naming Convention:
Recipe file names follow a specific ordering convention for consistency:
{accelerator}-{service}-{os}-{intent}-{platform}.yaml
Examples:
h100-eks-training.yaml(accelerator + service + intent)h100-eks-ubuntu-training.yaml(accelerator + service + os + intent)h100-eks-ubuntu-training-kubeflow.yaml(accelerator + service + os + intent + platform)
The recipe system uses a base-plus-overlay architecture:
- Base values (
overlays/base.yaml) provide default configurations - Overlay values (e.g.,
eks-gb200-training.yaml) provide environment-specific optimizations - Inline overrides allow per-recipe customization without creating new files
All files in this directory are embedded into the CLI binary and API server at compile time.
# Run all recipe tests
make test
# Run specific validation
go test -v ./pkg/recipe/... -run TestAllMetadataFilesConformToSchema
# Check for duplicate criteria
go test -v ./pkg/recipe/... -run TestNoDuplicateCriteriaAcrossOverlaysAll recipe metadata and component values are automatically validated. Tests run as part of make test and check:
- Schema conformance (YAML parses correctly)
- Criteria validation (valid enum values)
- Reference validation (valuesFile paths exist, dependencyRefs resolve)
- Constraint syntax (valid measurement paths and operators)
- Uniqueness (no duplicate criteria across overlays)
- Merge consistency (base + overlay merges without data loss)
# Generate bundle from recipe with overrides
aicr bundle -r recipes/overlays/your-recipe.yaml -o ./test-bundles
# Verify merged values
cat test-bundles/gpu-operator/values.yaml | grep -A5 "driver:"For detailed test documentation, see Automated Validation.
