# LWS Based PD Deploy

## 0. Prerequisites

1. k8s >=1.26
2. lws installed on k8s.

## 1. Image Preparation

`lmsysorg/sglang:deepep`

## 2. Deployment Manifest Files

***Notice: We will package all deployment files into Helm Chart format in the near future. Interested community members can contact us to contribute***

### Prefill

Prefill manifest file [prefill.yaml](lws-examples/p.yaml)

*Note: The NodeSelector section, model location section, and taint toleration section can be adjusted according to your actual deployment environment*

Execute separately:

```bash
kubectl apply -f p.yaml
kubectl apply -f d.yaml
```

At this point, we have completed the deployment of the 1P1D SGlang engine part.

To allow our users to directly experience the model API, we still need a load balancer to handle sequential calls between prefill and decode. Different companies implement LBs differently, and the community will also officially release a new LB component written in Rust in the near future.

Currently, we use a static K8S service + minilb approach to implement model API calls.

### Creating Service for Prefill and Decode

#### Create prefill k8s service
[p-svc.yaml](lws-examples/p-svc.yaml)
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: deepseekr10528-prefill-main
spec:
  selector:
    leaderworkerset.sigs.k8s.io/name: deepseekr10528-prefill-main
    role: leader
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 30000
      targetPort: 30000
```
Execute `kubectl apply -f p-svc.yaml`

#### Create decode k8s service
[d-svc.yaml](lws-examples/d-svc.yaml)
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: deepseekr10528-decode-main
spec:
  selector:
    leaderworkerset.sigs.k8s.io/name: deepseekr10528-decode-main
    role: leader
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 30000
      targetPort: 30000
```
Execute `kubectl apply -f d-svc.yaml`

#### Deploy minilb and lb service
[lb.yaml](lws-examples/lb.yaml)
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: deepseekr10528-lb-main
  labels:
    app: deepseekr10528-lb
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: deepseekr10528-lb
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: deepseekr10528-lb
    spec:
      nodeSelector:
          pd: "yes"
      tolerations:
        - key: pd
          operator: Exists
        - key: node-role
          operator: Exists
      containers:
        - name: sgl-minilb
          image: lmsysorg/sglang:deepep
          command:
          - python
          - -m
          - sglang_router.launch_router
          - --pd-disaggregation
          - --prefill
          - http://deepseekr10528-prefill-main:30000
          - --decode
          - http://deepseekr10528-decode-main:30000
          - --host
          - 0.0.0.0
          - --port
          -  "8000"
          ports:
            - containerPort: 8000
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: deepseekr10528-lb-service
spec:
  type: NodePort
  selector:
    app: deepseekr10528-lb
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 8000         # Service Port（In-Cluster）
      targetPort: 8000   # Exposed Container
      nodePort: 30800
```
Execute `kubectl apply -f lb.yaml`

After waiting for all model deployments to succeed, you will get the following output:

```bash
[root@ecs-001]# kubectl get po

```

At this point, select a nodePort:30800 to access:

```bash
[root@ecs-001]# curl -X POST "http://{nodePort}:30800/v1/chat/completions" \

## FAQ

1. The current deployment startup parameters may not be fully compatible with all RDMA scenarios. Different RDMA NCCL-related environment configurations may be needed in different network environments.

2. Some preset, optimized configurations for EPLB are not used here. You can adjust them according to [6017](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/issues/6017) as needed.
