Start or patch Dynamo router modes and run router endpoint smoke checks. Use for round-robin, KV-aware, least-loaded, or device-aware routing setup; use recipe-runner for recipe deployment and troubleshoot for failure diagnosis.

Dynamo Router Starter <!-- SPDX-FileCopyrightText: Copyright (c) 2026 NVIDIA CORPORATION & AFFILIATES. All rights reserved. SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-4.0 --> Purpose Make Dynamo routing feel easy by getting a baseline router mode running, enabling KV-aware routing when appropriate, and proving the endpoint works. Keep the user focused on exact commands and success signals, not router internals. Prerequisites Python 3.10+ with the dynamo package importable (python3 -m dynamo.frontend --help works). For Kubernetes runs: kubectl configured with access to the target namespace and a deployed Dynamo recipe. Network reachability to the frontend service (port-forward or direct). A model already loaded into at least one worker (/v1/models returns at least one entry). Required Inputs Collect or infer: local Python/CLI or Kubernetes recipe path desired mode: round-robin, kv, least-loaded, device-aware-weighted, direct, or random frontend port or Kubernetes frontend service whether workers publish KV events; if not, use approximate KV mode model name for smoke requests, if /v1/models cannot discover it Instructions 1. Establish A Baseline For local bring-up with already registered workers: For Kubernetes, inspect the selected recipe deploy.yaml and locate the frontend service. If the recipe is not already deployed, use dynamo-recipe-runner first. 2. Enable KV Routing For local frontend: For Kubernetes, patch only the frontend service env: If backend workers are not publishing KV cache events, set approximate mode instead of leaving the router waiting for events: 3. Smoke Test After port-forwarding the frontend service or starting local frontend, run: This must verify /v1/models and, when a model is discoverable, one /v1/chat/completions request. 4. …
