1. Rationale

This PR eliminatesstatic_node_count variable from TPU example blueprints as the node count value is automatically getting derived from machine_type, tpu_topology, and num_slices. This reduces deployment errors and simplifies the user experience.

2. Changes Done

  • Removed static_node_count variable from YAML files
  • Updated all references to use auto-calculated node_count_static from the GKE module
  • Updated README documentation to clarify automatic calculation and removed manual calculation examples

Summary of Changes

Hello, 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 refactors the GKE TPU configuration to improve consistency and reduce redundancy. By removing an unused variable and updating the quota calculation logic to reference the node pool's internal state, the configuration becomes more robust and easier to maintain.

Highlights

  • Configuration Cleanup: Removed the redundant static_node_count variable from the GKE TPU configuration.
  • Logic Update: Updated the tpu_quota calculation to use the node_count_static property directly from the node pool definition instead of a global variable.

Code Review

This pull request removes the static_node_count variable from the blueprint and updates the tpu_quota calculation to reference an output from the gke-tpu-7x-pool module. Review feedback highlights two critical issues: first, removing the explicit node count may cause deployment failures if the module logic for automatic calculation is missing; second, the updated tpu_quota calculation will likely fail because it attempts to perform arithmetic on a list output (resulting from the module's use of count) without proper indexing.

LGTM!!
Automating static_node_count from topology and machine type reduces configuration complexity and prevents deployment failures due to manual calculation errors.
