# CoreWeave Incident Runbook

## Triage Steps

```bash
# 1. Check pod status
kubectl get pods -l app=inference -o wide

# 2. Check recent events
kubectl get events --sort-by=.lastTimestamp | tail -20

# 3. Check node status
kubectl get nodes -l gpu.nvidia.com/class -o wide

# 4. Check GPU health
kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -l app=inference -o name | head -1) -- nvidia-smi
```

## Common Incidents

### Inference Service Down

1. Check pod status and events
2. If OOMKilled: reduce batch size or upgrade GPU
3. If ImagePullBackOff: check registry credentials
4. If Pending: check GPU quota and availability

### GPU Node Failure

1. Pods will be rescheduled automatically
2. If no capacity: scale down non-critical workloads
3. Contact CoreWeave support for extended outages

### Model Loading Failure

1. Check HuggingFace token secret exists
2. Verify model name spelling
3. Check PVC has sufficient storage
4. Review container logs for download errors

## Rollback

```bash
kubectl rollout undo deployment/inference
```
