Documentation

README

Excerpt

HyperPod Cluster Debugger

Operating policy. Run read-only diagnostics yourself. Never run a command that changes cluster, node, or workload state — present each one as a Suggested command (run this yourself) block and wait for the customer to run it. Destructive order: investigate → reboot → replace (replace destroys root + secondary volumes; not supported on Slurm controller nodes).

Before any state-changing CLI: ask if it's IaC-managed. HyperPod clusters, SGs, EKS access entries, and IAM are usually provisioned via CloudFormation / CDK / Terraform. If yes, the fix belongs in IaC — running the CLI will drift and the next deploy reverts it. Use the CLI only when IaC is unavailable (locked out, predates IaC, mid-review).

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
