Configure Container Runtime¶

To register the habana runtime, use the method below that is best suited to your environment. You might need to merge the new argument with your existing configuration.

Docker Engine setup

Note

As of Kubernetes 1.20, support for Docker has been deprecated.

sudo tee /etc/docker/daemon.json <<EOF
{
   "runtimes": {
      "habana": {
            "path": "/usr/bin/habana-container-runtime",
            "runtimeArgs": []
      }
   }
}
EOF

(Optional) Set the default runtime by adding the following to /etc/docker/daemon.json. Setting the default runtime as habana will route all your workloads through this runtime. However, any generic workloads will automatically be forwarded to a generic runtime. If you prefer not to set the default runtime, you can skip this step and override the runtime setting for the running container by using the --runtime flag in the docker run command:
```
"default-runtime": "habana"
```
Your /etc/docker/daemon.json should look similar to this:
```
{
   "default-runtime": "habana",
   "runtimes": {
      "habana": {
         "path": "/usr/bin/habana-container-runtime",
         "runtimeArgs": []
      }
   }
}
```
Restart Docker:
```
sudo systemctl restart docker
```

containerd setup

sudo tee /etc/containerd/config.toml <<EOF
disabled_plugins = []
version = 2

[plugins]
  [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri"]
    [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd]
      default_runtime_name = "habana"
      [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes]
        [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.habana]
          runtime_type = "io.containerd.runc.v2"
          [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".containerd.runtimes.habana.options]
            BinaryName = "/usr/bin/habana-container-runtime"
  [plugins."io.containerd.runtime.v1.linux"]
    runtime = "habana-container-runtime"
EOF

Restart containerd:
```
sudo systemctl restart containerd
```

CRI-O setup

Create a new configuration file at /etc/crio/crio.conf.d/99-habana-ai.conf:

[crio.runtime]
default_runtime = "habana-ai"

[crio.runtime.runtimes.habana-ai]
runtime_path = "/usr/local/habana/bin/habana-container-runtime"
monitor_env = [
        "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin",
]

Restart CRI-O service: systemctl restart crio.service.
