Add the /generate validation request to the vLLM guide and reword all three guides (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM) to frame it consistently as validating the restored replica.
…he server CLI Mirror the vLLM note in the SGLang and TensorRT-LLM guides: each example runs the engine directly (sglang.Engine / LLM API) rather than the framework server, so the server CLI arguments do not apply. SGLang links its environment-variables reference; TensorRT-LLM links its LLM API reference (its configuration surface).
…ailure handling Rewrite the primitives note so higher-level responsibility reads as orchestrating snapshots (which pods, when, how they are restored) rather than handling failures.
Repoint the post-install next step to the usage guides and remove the Quickstart entry from the documentation list until that page exists.
…roken links - Add the four missing referenced pages (install, api, support-matrix, limitations) as in-progress skeletons so every link resolves. - Unify terminology: checkpoint (not capture), snapshot-ready image (not placeholder), inference framework (not backend/server); align the example image name to vllm-snapshot and the pod name to the guides' vllm-source. - Fix impersonal slip (build it yourself), the snapshot/Restored condition name in the CLI page, and soften README pointers to in-progress reference pages.
Drop docs/reference/support-matrix.md and its references; the same support information is already covered by the README prerequisites and limitations.
Strip the internal TODO placeholders from the documentation ahead of publishing.
The installation page does not document RBAC, so remove it from the README and build-from-source pointers rather than reference uncovered material.
Like RBAC, the installation page does not cover runtime configuration, so remove it from the README and build-from-source pointers.

daemonset/snapshot-agent to complete before applying this Deployment, especially
when seccomp.deploy is disabled.
In `@docs/guides/sglang/Dockerfile.sglang`:
- Around line 11-22: Update Dockerfile.sglang to create a dedicated non-root
user and switch to it instead of USER root. Add explicit restricted security
contexts to both model-cache and main, including non-root execution, disabled

Describe the PodSnapshot pause window accurately.
README.md states that checkpointing pauses a running pod before saving its state. This guide says the replica “keeps running and serving,” which implies uninterrupted service during capture. Clarify that the source pod remains after capture but is paused during capture. Require traffic draining or rerouting before the checkpoint.
Suggested wording
-Because the replica keeps running and serving, this is the faster path — the

The node agent writes nvidia.com/Restored, but the guide tells users to watch snapshot/Restored. Update the guide and show a condition-aware kubectl check.

Python 3 http.server HTTPServer ThreadingHTTPServer BaseHTTPRequestHandler rfile read Content-Length official documentation
💡 Result:
In Python’s http.server module, BaseHTTPRequestHandler provides the rfile attribute, which is an io.BufferedIOBase input stream used to read the body of an HTTP request [1][2]. To read the request body correctly, you must utilize the Content-Length header to specify the number of bytes to read [3][4]. ThreadingHTTPServer is a subclass of HTTPServer that utilizes a ThreadingMixIn to handle each request in a separate thread [1]. This is essential for preventing the server from hanging when clients pre-open sockets or when performing blocking read operations [1]. Best Practices for Reading Request Data: 1. Extract the Content-Length: Access the header using self.headers.get('Content-Length') [4]. 2. Perform the Read: Pass this integer value to self.rfile.read to ensure the method returns once the specified number of bytes has been received [3][4]. 3. Handle Potential Hanging: If you call self.rfile.read without an argument, the method will wait until the client closes the connection, which often leads to performance issues or unexpected delays in request processing [3]. Example Implementation: class MyHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler): def do_POST(self): content_length = int(self.headers.get('Content-Length', 0)) post_data = self.rfile.read(content_length) # Process post_data... self.send_response(200) self.end_headers

Bound and time-limit request-body reads.
GenerateHandler.do_POST reads the client-controlled Content-Length before validation. HTTPServer handles requests synchronously, so a client can hold one body read open and block later /generate requests. Large declared lengths can also cause excessive memory use. Reject oversized bodies and set a per-connection read timeout. Use a concurrency-limited ThreadingHTTPServer or an application server with equivalent limits.

Document the Snapshot installation prerequisite.
The Snapshot Helm chart provisions profiles/block-iouring.json by default through the agent DaemonSet. This Deployment can fail if applied before the agent rollout completes or if seccomp.deploy is disabled. Link the installation instructions and require kubectl rollout status daemonset/snapshot-agent before applying this Deployment.

Kubernetes securityContext runAsNonRoot allowPrivilegeEscalation capabilities hostPath character device /dev/net/tun CRIU checkpoint restore CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_SYS_ADMIN
💡 Result:
Managing advanced Kubernetes security and runtime configurations involves balancing operational requirements with strict isolation principles. Security Context and Isolation The securityContext field is the primary mechanism for enforcing pod-level and container-level security policies [1][2]. - runAsNonRoot: Setting this to true is a core requirement of Pod Security Standards (PSS) for restricted workloads [3][4]. It prevents the container process from running as UID 0, mitigating the risk of container breakouts [2][3]. - allowPrivilegeEscalation: Setting this to false is critical for security [3][4]. It restricts child processes from gaining more privileges than their parent, effectively blocking setuid/setgid binary exploitation [1][2][3]. - Capabilities: Linux capabilities allow fine-grained privilege management [1][2]. Best practices dictate dropping ALL default capabilities and explicitly adding only those required (e.g., CAP_NET_ADMIN for network configuration) [3]. However, adding capabilities alone is often insufficient for deep system access due to secondary restrictions in the container runtime and kernel [5][6]. HostPath and Character Devices Using hostPath to mount character devices like /dev/net/tun is inherently dangerous and typically violates the restricted PSS profile [4][7]. - Access Issues: Even with necessary capabilities like CAP_NET_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_ADMIN, containers often face permission errors (EPERM) when interacting with host-mounted devices [5][6]. This is frequently due to cgroup restrictions, AppArmor/SELinux profiles, or recent changes in container runtimes (e.g., runc 1.2.0+) that restrict device access by default [8][5]. - Alternative: For scenarios like TUN/TAP devices, privileged mode is often requested as a workaround [9][8]. However, production environments should prefer using dedicated device plugins to manage hardware access securely, rather than direct hostPath mounting [6]. CRIU and Checkpoint/Restore CRIU-based checkpoint/restore enables migrating or pausing containers, but it traditionally required high-privilege access [10]. - Privileges: Historically, CRIU required CAP_SYS_ADMIN to control process PIDs during restoration [11][12]. - CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE: The kernel introduced the CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE capability to allow checkpointing and restoration without full CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges [11][12]. - Implementation: In Kubernetes, using CRIU-based features (e.g., node-local Kubelet API) should be isolated using appropriate PSS profiles [13][10]. System-level agents handling these operations may still require elevated privileges, which should be strictly scoped to the agent's namespace and limited via fine-grained RBAC and security contexts rather than broad privileged access [13].

Run the SGLang workload as non-root.
docs/guides/sglang/Dockerfile.sglang sets USER root, and neither container overrides it. Both model-cache and main therefore run as UID 0. The main container also mounts host /dev/net/tun without allowPrivilegeEscalation: false or capability restrictions. Add a dedicated user and explicit restricted security contexts. The checked-in workload does not open TUN or declare a required capability, so do not add CAP_NET_ADMIN solely because the device is mounted. Validate checkpoint and restore with the restricted context.

Use digest-pinned images for the restore workflow.
A tag is mutable. imagePullPolicy: Always resolves the tag when each Pod starts. If the tag changes after checkpoint, the restore Pod can run a different filesystem image. That violates the required source and restore image identity and can make CRIU restore fail.

Limit the request body before reading it.
Content-Length has no upper bound. A client that can reach port 8000 can make rfile.read(length) and json.loads() retain an arbitrarily large body before prompt validation. This can exhaust the inference process memory.
Reject negative and oversized lengths before the read. Keep the limit consistent with the configured 512-token request capacity.
Proposed fix
try:
length = int(self.headers.get("Content-Length", "0"))
+ if not 0 < length <= 16 * 1024:
+ raise ValueError("request body must be between 1 and 16384 bytes")

Use a restore-specific readiness marker.
The restore Pod copies this readiness probe, but its per-Pod emptyDir does not contain the source Pod's ready-for-snapshot marker. After restore-complete, app.py writes trtllm-restore-ready and starts the API, while the probe still checks the missing source marker. The restored API can therefore listen while the Pod remains unready.
Configure restore Pods to probe trtllm-restore-ready, and retain ready-for-snapshot for checkpoint-source Pods.

Include the complete snapshot-ready podTemplate.
The text requires a full snapshot-ready pod spec, but this manifest defines only the container name and image. It omits the /snapshot-control mount, required securityContext, readiness gate, and nvidia.com/snapshot-is-checkpoint-source label listed at Lines 22-27.
