This PR introduces the capability to use Spot VMs for GKE clusters with A3 mega GPUs and adds a new test to validate this configuration.

The main changes are:

  • A new Cloud Build configuration(tools/cloud-build/daily-tests/builds/gke-a3-megagpu-onspot.yaml) is added to run a daily test for the Spot VM configuration.

  • A new test configuration file(tools/cloud-build/daily-tests/tests/gke-a3-megagpu-onspot.yml) enables the Spot VM feature by setting enable_spot_vm: true. It also defines the necessary variables and post-deployment tests to validate the GKE cluster with A3 mega GPUs on Spot VMs.

Summary of Changes

Hello @simrankaurb, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the GKE A3 mega GPU blueprint by integrating support for Spot Virtual Machines, which can lead to substantial cost reductions for users. To ensure the reliability and proper functioning of this new feature, a dedicated daily automated test has been established. This test will continuously validate the deployment and operational aspects of GKE clusters utilizing A3 mega GPUs on Spot VMs, thereby maintaining the integrity of the offering.

Highlights

  • Spot VM Support for GKE A3 Mega GPUs: Introduced the capability to provision GKE clusters with A3 mega GPUs using Spot Virtual Machines, offering potential cost savings for interruptible workloads.
  • Blueprint Configuration Update: Added a new enable_spot_vm variable to the gke-a3-megagpu.yaml blueprint, defaulting to false, to control Spot VM usage for node pools.
  • New Daily Test for Spot VM Configuration: Implemented a new daily Cloud Build test (gke-a3-megagpu-onspot.yaml) to automatically validate the deployment and functionality of GKE A3 mega GPU clusters configured with Spot VMs.
  • Dedicated Test Configuration: Created a specific test configuration file (gke-a3-megagpu-onspot.yml) that explicitly enables the enable_spot_vm feature and defines post-deployment validation steps.

Code Review

This pull request introduces the capability to use Spot VMs for GKE clusters with A3 mega GPUs and adds a new daily test for this configuration. The changes look good overall, but I've identified a critical issue in the find_available_zone.sh script that will break existing and new tests. Additionally, I have some suggestions to improve the maintainability and clarity of the new test configuration files.
