AI Runway AKS Setup

This skill walks users from a bare Kubernetes cluster to a running AI model deployment. Follow each step in sequence unless the user provides skip-to-step N to resume from a specific phase.

Cost awareness: GPU node pools incur significant compute charges (A100-80GB can cost $3–5+/hr). Confirm the user understands cost implications before provisioning GPU resources.

Prerequisites

This skill assumes an AKS cluster already exists. If the user does not have a cluster, hand off to the azure-kubernetes skill first to provision one (with a GPU node pool unless CPU-only inference is acceptable), then return here.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Set up AI Runway on an existing AKS cluster from scratch
  • Install the AI Runway controller and CRDs
  • Assess GPU hardware compatibility for model deployment
  • Choose and install an inference provider (KAITO, Dynamo, KubeRay)
  • Deploy their first AI model to AKS via AI Runway
  • Resume a partially-complete AI Runway setup from a specific step

GPU setup versus Day-2 incidents

Keep initial GPU node-pool, provider, controller, and model setup in this skill. For an incident affecting an existing GPU or inference deployment, load optional-gpu-day2.md before deciding whether to offer the focused optional add-on.

MCP Tools

This skill uses no MCP tools. All cluster operations are performed directly via kubectl and make.

Rules

  1. Execute steps in sequence — load the reference for each step as you reach it
  2. Report cluster state at each step: ✓ healthy, ✗ missing/failed
  3. Ask for user confirmation before any install or deployment action
  4. If a step is already complete, report status and skip to the next step
  5. If the user provides skip-to-step N, start at step N; assume prior steps are complete
