AI Runway AKS Setup

This skill walks users from a bare Kubernetes cluster to a running AI model deployment. Follow each step in sequence unless the user provides skip-to-step N to resume from a specific phase.

Cost awareness: GPU node pools incur significant compute charges (A100-80GB can cost $3–5+/hr). Confirm the user understands cost implications before provisioning GPU resources.

Prerequisites

This skill assumes an AKS cluster already exists. If the user does not have a cluster, hand off to the azure-kubernetes skill first to provision one (with a GPU node pool unless CPU-only inference is acceptable), then return here.

Quick Reference

Property Value
Best for End-to-end AI Runway onboarding on AKS
CLI tools kubectl, make, curl
MCP tools None
Related skills azure-kubernetes (cluster setup), azure-diagnostics (troubleshooting)

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Set up AI Runway on an existing AKS cluster from scratch
  • Install the AI Runway controller and CRDs
  • Assess GPU hardware compatibility for model deployment
  • Choose and install an inference provider (KAITO, Dynamo, KubeRay)
  • Deploy their first AI model to AKS via AI Runway
  • Resume a partially-complete AI Runway setup from a specific step

MCP Tools

This skill uses no MCP tools. All cluster operations are performed directly via kubectl and make.

Rules

  1. Execute steps in sequence — load the reference for each step as you reach it
  2. Report cluster state at each step: ✓ healthy, ✗ missing/failed
  3. Ask for user confirmation before any install or deployment action
  4. If a step is already complete, report status and skip to the next step
  5. If the user provides skip-to-step N, start at step N; assume prior steps are complete

Steps

# Step Reference
1 Cluster Verification — context check, node inventory, GPU detection step-1-verify.md
2 Controller Installation — CRD + controller deployment step-2-controller.md
3 GPU Assessment — detect GPU models, flag dtype/attention constraints step-3-gpu.md
4 Provider Setup — recommend and install inference provider step-4-provider.md
5 First Deployment — pick a model, deploy, verify Ready step-5-deploy.md
6 Summary — recap, smoke test, next steps step-6-summary.md

Error Handling

Error / Symptom Likely Cause Remediation
No kubeconfig context Not connected to a cluster Run az aks get-credentials or equivalent
Controller in CrashLoopBackOff Config or RBAC issue kubectl logs -n airunway-system -l control-plane=controller-manager --previous
Provider not ready Image pull or RBAC issue kubectl logs <pod-name> -n <namespace> for the provider pod
ModelDeployment stuck in Pending GPU scheduling failure or provider not ready kubectl describe modeldeployment <name> -n <namespace> events
bfloat16 errors at inference T4 or V100 lacks bfloat16 support Add --dtype float16 to serving args

How to use this skill

1

Install airunway-aks-setup by running npx skills add microsoft/azure-skills --skill airunway-aks-setup in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.

2

No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.

3

The skill enhances your agent's understanding of airunway-aks-setup, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.

What you get

Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.

Compatibility

This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.

Data sourced from the skills.sh registry and GitHub. Install counts and security audits are updated regularly.
