[V2arK]

Changes Made

SDK Updates (centml/sdk/api.py)

CServe v3 Support

🎯 CServe & Inference V3 in Action - CLI & SDK Snippets

⚡ SDK Examples

1. Inference V3 with Rollout Strategy (New Default)

from centml.sdk.api import get_centml_client
from centml.sdk import CreateInferenceV3DeploymentRequest

with get_centml_client() as cclient:
    config = CreateInferenceV3DeploymentRequest(
        name='nginx-v3',
        cluster_id=1011,
        hardware_instance_id=1090,
        image_url='nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged',
        port=8080,
        min_replicas=1,      # V3 terminology
        max_replicas=3,      # V3 terminology
        initial_replicas=1,  # V3 field - initial number of replicas
        # V3 rollout strategy parameters
        max_surge=1,         # Allow 1 extra pod during updates
        max_unavailable=0,   # Keep all pods available during updates
        healthcheck='/health',
        concurrency=20,
    )
    
    # Uses V3 API by default now!
    response = cclient.create_inference(config)  
    print(f"✅ V3 Inference Deployment: {response.id}")

2. CServe V3 with Rollout Strategy (Default)

from centml.sdk import CreateCServeV3DeploymentRequest, CServeV2Recipe

config = CreateCServeV3DeploymentRequest(
    name='llm-zero-downtime',
    cluster_id=1011,
    hardware_instance_id=1090,
    recipe=CServeV2Recipe(model='microsoft/DialoGPT-small'),
    min_replicas=2,      # V3 terminology
    max_replicas=5,      # V3 terminology
    max_surge=1,         # V3 rollout parameter - allows 1 extra pod during updates
    max_unavailable=0,   # V3 rollout parameter - keep all pods available
    concurrency=100,
)

response = cclient.create_cserve(config)  # Uses V3 by default
deployment = cclient.get_cserve(response.id)  # Auto-detects V3
print(f"Replicas: min={deployment.min_replicas}, max={deployment.max_replicas}")
# Output: Replicas: min=2, max=5

3. Auto-Detection in Action

# Works seamlessly with both V2 and V3 deployments
def get_deployment_info(deployment_id):
    with get_centml_client() as cclient:
        # Single method works for both versions
        deployment = cclient.get_inference(deployment_id)  # Auto-detects V2/V3
        
        # Field mapping handled automatically
        replica_info = cclient._get_replica_info(deployment)
        print(f"Replicas: {replica_info}")
        
        # V3 deployment: {'min': 1, 'max': 3} from min_replicas/max_replicas
        # V2 deployment: {'min': 1, 'max': 3} from min_scale/max_scale

4. V2 Backward Compatibility

from centml.sdk import CreateInferenceDeploymentRequest, CreateCServeV2DeploymentRequest

# V2 still works with explicit methods
inference_v2 = CreateInferenceDeploymentRequest(
    name='legacy-inference',
    min_scale=1,      # V2 terminology
    max_scale=4,      # V2 terminology  
    # ... other fields
)
response = cclient.create_inference_v2(inference_v2)  # Explicit V2 call

cserve_v2 = CreateCServeV2DeploymentRequest(
    name='legacy-cserve',
    min_scale=1,      # V2 terminology
    max_scale=3,      # V2 terminology
    # ... other fields
)
response = cclient.create_cserve_v2(cserve_v2)  # Explicit V2 call

Migration Guide

For SDK Users

# Before (V2 was default)
CreateInferenceDeploymentRequest(min_scale=1, max_scale=5)
CreateCServeV2DeploymentRequest(min_scale=1, max_scale=5)

# After (V3 is now default) 
CreateInferenceV3DeploymentRequest(
    min_replicas=1, max_replicas=5,    # V3 terminology
    max_surge=1, max_unavailable=0     # New V3 rollout capabilities
)
CreateCServeV3DeploymentRequest(
    min_replicas=1, max_replicas=5,    # V3 terminology  
    max_surge=1, max_unavailable=0     # New V3 rollout capabilities
)

For CLI Users

# Both inference and cserve now default to V3
centml cluster get inference 123   # Auto-detects V2/V3
centml cluster get cserve 456      # Auto-detects V2/V3

# Field mapping works seamlessly for both versions
# V2: Shows {'min': 1, 'max': 3} from min_scale/max_scale
# V3: Shows {'min': 1, 'max': 3} from min_replicas/max_replicas

Rollout Strategy Note

V3 rollout parameters (max_surge, max_unavailable) are accepted during creation and influence platform orchestration behavior for zero-downtime deployments, but are not returned in deployment responses (by platform design).

Backward Compatibility ✅

• ✅ All existing V2 workflows continue to work without changes
• ✅ V2 API methods remain available (create_inference_v2, create_cserve_v2)
• ✅ Auto-detection seamlessly handles both V2 and V3 deployments
• ✅ No breaking changes to existing V2 deployments
• ✅ CLI provides unified interface regardless of deployment version

The test outputs above demonstrate that:

• ✅ Both v2 and v3 deployments create successfully for both CServe and Inference
• ✅ Auto-detection works seamlessly across all deployment types and versions
• ✅ CLI displays all versions using unified field mapping
• ✅ Updates work correctly and are reflected in CLI immediately
• ✅ Cross-version validation prevents errors with helpful messages
• ✅ All functionality tested end-to-end with real deployments on production hardware

Looks good with me

[anandj91]

we don't need these two. we should only allow creating v3 deployments
