TL;DR

Resolve Dynamo's bundled NATS server from the official Docker Hub image instead of leaving the single-name nats reference ambiguous. Preserve registry, repository, and tag overrides for private mirrors.

Additional Details

Why

The Dynamo 1.4.2 chart defaults its bundled NATS server to nats:2.10.21-alpine. The image is the official Docker Hub NATS image, but the single-name reference does not identify its registry or namespace. The stack inventory and docs sync therefore cannot safely classify it as upstream and leave it in publication pending.

What changed

  • Set the default Dynamo NATS image to docker.io/library/nats:2.10.21-alpine.
  • Expose addons.dynamoOperator.nats.image.registry, repository, and tag for private or disconnected mirrors.
  • Document the mirror override in the compute-plane README.
  • Add regression coverage for the default values, Helmfile wiring, and rendered image.

Customer Release Notes

Dynamo's bundled NATS server now resolves directly from the official Docker Hub image by default. Its registry, repository, and tag can be redirected to a private mirror.

Plan Summary

No Kubernetes resources or dependency versions change. The rendered image reference changes from the implicit Docker Hub name nats:2.10.21-alpine to the canonical equivalent docker.io/library/nats:2.10.21-alpine.

Usage

Connected installations need no configuration. To use a private mirror:

addons:
  dynamoOperator:
    nats:
      image:
        registry: nvcr.io
        repository: YOUR_ORG/YOUR_TEAM/nats
        tag: 2.10.21-alpine

Testing

  • make test-local in deploy/stacks/nvcf-compute-plane
  • go test ./... in tools/docs-version-sync
  • Helmfile state build with the NATS image redirected to nvcr.io/nvidia/ncp-dev/nats
  • git diff --check

The full compute-plane render matches the updated golden manifests. The mirror override is present in the built Dynamo release values.

Notes

QA is needed. After this merges, publish the next compute-plane stack release so its resolved inventory records docker.io/library/nats. Then rerun docs PR #1907 against that release to remove nats from publication pending.

Dependencies

NATS 2.10.21 is an existing Apache-2.0 dependency. Its version and license do not change, and no NOTICE update is required.

For the Reviewer

Review the nested Dynamo values in 01-dependencies.yaml.gotmpl and the environment override shape in environments/base.yaml.

For QA

  1. Enable the Dynamo operator and confirm the NATS StatefulSet uses docker.io/library/nats:2.10.21-alpine.
  2. Set the three addons.dynamoOperator.nats.image fields to a test mirror and confirm the NATS StatefulSet uses that mirror.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compute-plane stack configures the Dynamo NATS image with registry, repository, and tag values. It documents overrides, wires them into Helmfile, and validates default and override rendering through the local test workflow.

Changes

NATS image source

Layer / File(s) Summary
NATS image configuration
deploy/stacks/nvcf-compute-plane/environments/base.yaml, deploy/stacks/nvcf-compute-plane/README.md
The base environment sets docker.io/library/nats:2.10.21-alpine. The README documents registry, repository, and tag overrides.
Dynamo operator image wiring
deploy/stacks/nvcf-compute-plane/helmfile.d/01-dependencies.yaml.gotmpl
The Helmfile template reads the NATS image settings and passes registry, repository, and tag values to the Dynamo operator.
NATS image validation
deploy/stacks/nvcf-compute-plane/tests/nats-server-source.sh, deploy/stacks/nvcf-compute-plane/Makefile
The validation script checks the default image, renders non-default overrides, and verifies the resulting StatefulSet image. The Makefile adds the check to test-local, marks it phony, and documents it in the help output.

Replace the static template-text check with a targeted Helmfile render that supplies non-default NATS registry, repository, and tag values, then validates the resulting StatefulSet image.
