fix(recipes): fix NIM operator validation and demo script issues#483
Merged
Conversation
Add k8s-nim-operator as a new AICR component and create an H100/EKS/Ubuntu inference recipe for NIM. This supports the CNCF AI Conformance submission where NIM on EKS is the certified product and AICR is the validation tooling. - Add `nim` platform type to recipe criteria with tests - Register k8s-nim-operator v3.1.0 in component registry with health check - Create h100-eks-ubuntu-inference-nim overlay with DRA support - Add NIMService workload manifest (Llama 3.2 1B) - Add NIM chat demo UI (nim-chat-server.sh, nim-chat.html) - Fix: load healthCheck.assertFile content in ApplyRegistryDefaults so deployment validation actually executes Chainsaw health checks Closes NVIDIA#473

Summary
Follow-up fixes to #478 (merged) addressing review findings:
Revert health check file loading —
ApplyRegistryDefaultswas loadinghealthCheck.assertFilecontent intoHealthCheckAsserts, which activated the chainsaw binary path inexpected-resources. The deployment validator image (distroless) doesn't include chainsaw, causing runtime failures for all recipes with health checks.Add
expectedResourcesfor NIM operator — Without the chainsaw path, the NIM operator had no deployment validation. AddedexpectedResourceswithDeployment/k8s-nim-operatorinnvidia-nimnamespace soexpected-resourcesverifies the operator is running.Fix demo script port handling —
nim-chat-server.shnow honorsAPI_PORT/UI_PORTenv var overrides, fails fast on port conflicts instead of killing unrelated processes, and detects port-forward failures before printing "Ready!".Test plan
