Overview

A Helm chart for deploying NVIDIA Dynamo Snapshot checkpoint/restore infrastructure on Kubernetes. This chart works alongside the Dynamo Operator to enable CRIU-based checkpoint and restore for GPU inference workloads, reducing cold-start times for large models from minutes to seconds. It installs the namespace-scoped snapshot agent DaemonSet, checkpoint storage, RBAC, and seccomp profile required by CRIU.

Experimental Feature: Dynamo Snapshot is currently in preview. The DaemonSet runs in privileged mode to perform CRIU checkpoint and restore operations. For more information, see the Snapshot guide.
