Feature Summary

Install, run, and remove NVCRE with no internet access.

Problem/Use Case

A significant share of GPU clusters run disconnected by policy. Install is Helm-based today so images are mirrorable, but the test catalog has no defined distribution model — which means there's no supported way to get tests and thresholds into an air-gapped environment, and no way to update them.

Proposed Solution

Publish a complete image manifest operators can mirror to a private registry in one step, and make the catalog resolvable from a mirrored OCI registry via a documented override. Validate the whole path — install, certify, tear down — in an environment with egress denied.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Helm-based installation and the test catalog distribution model, then identify how mirrored OCI registry settings enter deployment. Done means operators can mirror the complete image manifest, resolve the catalog from the private registry, and validate install, certification, and teardown with egress denied.
