Basic health checks

SageMaker HyperPod performs a set of basic health checks on cluster instances during the creation and update of HyperPod clusters. These basic health checks are orchestrator-agnostic, so these checks are applicable regardless of the underlying orchestration platforms supported by SageMaker HyperPod (Amazon EKS or Slurm).

The basic health checks monitor cluster instances for issues related to devices such as accelerators (GPU and Trainium cores) and network devices (Elastic Fabric Adapter, or EFA). To find the list of basic cluster health checks, see Cluster health checks.
