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.

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
- Execute steps in sequence — load the reference for each step as you reach it
- Report cluster state at each step: ✓ healthy, ✗ missing/failed
- Ask for user confirmation before any install or deployment action
- If a step is already complete, report status and skip to the next step
- 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 |
