Summary of Changes

Hello @Jeffwan, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request updates the documentation for AIBrix to streamline and clarify the Helm-based installation process. It standardizes the installation of AIBrix and its dependencies, introduces explicit instructions for upgrading and uninstalling components, and makes the KubeRay operator installation a required step.

Highlights

  • Standardized Helm Installation: The documentation now exclusively guides users through Helm for installing AIBrix and its core dependencies, removing previous alternative methods for a more consistent setup experience.
  • Mandatory KubeRay Operator Setup: The installation of the KubeRay operator is now a required step, with updated Helm parameters including a specific namespace and image details, ensuring proper integration for RayClusterFleet users.
  • Comprehensive Lifecycle Management: New sections have been added to provide clear Helm commands for upgrading and completely uninstalling AIBrix, KubeRay operator, and Envoy Gateway, improving the overall manageability of the deployment.

Code Review

This pull request updates the Helm installation documentation, making it the required method. The changes pin dependency versions and add upgrade/uninstall instructions. My review focuses on ensuring the new instructions are correct and clear. I've identified a few issues: a missing step for installing KubeRay CRDs, an incorrect file used in the upgrade command which could lead to installing a nightly build on a stable system, and some unclear wording regarding optional dependencies. Addressing these points will provide a smoother and more reliable installation experience for users.

The helm install command for the KubeRay operator does not install its required Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). This will cause failures when using features that depend on KubeRay, such as RayClusterFleet. A step to install the CRDs must be added before installing the operator.

    # 2. Install KubeRay operator (if you use AIBrix RayClusterFleet, you need to install it):
    kubectl apply -f https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/releases/download/v1.2.1/ray-operator-crds.yaml
    helm install kuberay-operator kuberay/kuberay-operator \

The upgrade command uses dist/chart/values.yaml, which appears to be for 'nightly' builds based on its content. However, this documentation section is for the 'Stable Version', which is installed using dist/chart/stable.yaml. Using values.yaml for an upgrade would inadvertently switch a stable installation to a nightly one. The upgrade command should use stable.yaml to maintain consistency with the stable installation.

    helm upgrade aibrix dist/chart -f dist/chart/stable.yaml -n aibrix-system

helm install eg oci://docker.io/envoyproxy/gateway-helm --version v1.2.8 -n envoy-gateway-system --create-namespace

The instruction for installing the KubeRay operator is unclear about whether it's a mandatory or optional step. The Optional: prefix was removed, but the parenthetical (if you use AIBrix RayClusterFleet, you need to install it) remains. For clarity, if KubeRay is mandatory, the parenthetical should be removed. If it's optional, the instruction should explicitly state that this step can be skipped, for example by re-adding "Optional:".
