…istry config
Container Cache could install cleanly while function image pulls went straight
to the upstream registry, with no error and no cache metrics.
The DaemonSet writes the containerd mirror endpoint and the CRI-O drop-in as
${NODE_IP}:${port}, because both runtimes resolve it from the host network
namespace where cluster service DNS and ClusterIP addresses are not dependable.
The Service, though, only rendered a nodePort when service.type was NodePort,
and the values table and user docs advertised ClusterIP and LoadBalancer as
supported. Choosing either left the mirror pointing at a port nothing listens
on, so every pull fell back to the upstream registry silently.
Remove the knob rather than validate it. The service is now always NodePort,
service.type is gone from values.yaml, and setting it to anything else fails
the render with an explanation instead of installing a cache that pulls bypass.
An explicit NodePort is still accepted so existing values files keep working.
Separately, containerd reads registry.config_path only at daemon start and has
no config reload, so correcting a node's config.toml does not take effect on
its own. Hash config.toml around the configurator to detect that we changed it,
and report the node instead of acting on it: a NOTICE in the container log and
no readiness marker, so a DaemonSet ready count below its desired count is the
signal that some nodes still pull straight from the upstream registry.
Deliberately no containerd restart -- that is disruptive on nodes running
function workloads, and node lifecycle is managed out of band.
CRI-O has no equivalent gap, since its mirror lives directly in the drop-in
rather than behind a startup-only path. It does need a nudge on first install,
because auto_reload_registries only applies once CRI-O has read the crio.conf.d
drop-in this DaemonSet writes. SIGHUP is a documented CRI-O reload rather than
a kill, so signal it best-effort.
Chart render tests cover the rejected override, the accepted NodePort, the
pending-restart detection, the absence of any restart path, the readiness
marker, and the CRI-O reload.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Derive readiness from active runtime state.
The readiness state is container-local and evaluated only once. If this pod restarts before containerd restarts, Lines 101-106 reset containerd_restart_pending; unchanged hashes then cause Line 260 to mark an inactive configuration ready. If containerd restarts later, the sleep loop never re-evaluates state.
A failed CRI-O SIGHUP has the same result. Line 248 states that the drop-in applies on a later reload, but Lines 257-260 still mark the node ready.
Persist and reconcile pending runtime activation state. Keep the pod process successful for best-effort CRI-O signaling, but do not create the readiness marker until the relevant runtime has activated the written configuration. Add coverage for pod recreation before a containerd restart, a later containerd restart, and a failed CRI-O reload.
Also applies to: 163-173, 243-260, 263-267

Document the allowed override accurately.
Line 308 says that every service.type setting fails. The chart accepts service.type=NodePort. State that only values other than NodePort fail.

Why
Container Cache could install successfully while function image pulls went
straight to the upstream registry, with no error and no cache metrics. Two
independent causes, both reported from EKS and AKS GPU node pools.
The DaemonSet writes the containerd mirror endpoint and the CRI-O drop-in as
${NODE_IP}:${port}, because both runtimes resolve it from the host networknamespace, where cluster service DNS and ClusterIP addresses are not
dependable. The Service only rendered a
nodePortwhenservice.typewasNodePort, while the values table and user docs advertisedClusterIPandLoadBalanceras supported. Choosing either left the mirror pointing at a portnothing listens on:
Pulls then fall back to the upstream registry and succeed, which is
indistinguishable from a working cache unless you check cache metrics.
Separately, on nodes whose containerd
config.tomldeclaresversion = 3,registry configuration lives under
[plugins."io.containerd.cri.v1.images".registry].config_pathwas leftempty or unusable there, so
hosts.tomlunder/etc/containerd/certs.dwasignored. Correcting that file is not enough on its own: containerd reads
registry.config_pathonly at daemon start and has no config reload(containerd#4478), so
the correction stays inactive until containerd next starts.
hosts.tomlitselfis unaffected, since containerd re-reads it on every pull.
What changed

and keeps the corrected config on disk; it activates on the next containerd
start or node cycle.

best-effort. A node without CRI-O, or where the signal fails, is not an error.
Customer Release Notes
Container Cache is now always exposed as a NodePort service.
service.typehasbeen removed; installs that set it to
ClusterIPorLoadBalancerfail with anexplicit error instead of silently routing image pulls around the cache. Nodes
whose container runtime registry configuration is written but not yet active are
now reported through the DaemonSet's ready count.
Plan Summary
No new Kubernetes resources. The
nvcf-container-cacheService already renderedas NodePort under the default values, so a default install is unchanged. An
install that explicitly set
service.typeto a non-NodePort value will now failthe render; that configuration never routed pulls through the cache. The
configure container gains a readinessProbe, which can lower a DaemonSet's ready
count on nodes whose containerd config was just corrected.
Usage
No action for installs on default values. If your values set
service.type,remove it; use
service.portto change the published port.To find nodes whose registry config is written but not yet active:
Those nodes activate on their next containerd start or node cycle.

Also verified locally:

Not yet validated on a live cluster. The containerd half also depends on a
configurator image change that is not in this repository, so end-to-end QA
needs that image released and
images.certificatesbumped.Notes
The
config_pathhalf of this is only the reporting side. The configurator thatwrites
config.tomllives in the certificates image, not in this repository;this PR makes the resulting state visible rather than fixing what gets written.
