guardrails-usvc¶

Helm chart for deploying LLM microservice.

guardrails-usvc depends on TGI, you should set TGI_LLM_ENDPOINT as tgi endpoint.

(Option1): Installing the chart separately¶

First, you need to install the tgi chart, please refer to the tgi chart for more information. Please use model meta-llama/Meta-Llama-Guard-2-8B during installation.

After you’ve deployted the tgi chart successfully, please run kubectl get svc to get the tgi service endpoint, i.e. http://tgi.

To install the chart, run the following:

cd GenAIInfra/helm-charts/common/guardrails-usvc
export HFTOKEN="insert-your-huggingface-token-here"
export SAFETY_GUARD_ENDPOINT="http://tgi"
export SAFETY_GUARD_MODEL_ID="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-Guard-2-8B"
helm dependency update
helm install guardrails-usvc . --set global.HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN=${HFTOKEN} --set SAFETY_GUARD_ENDPOINT=${SAFETY_GUARD_ENDPOINT} --set SAFETY_GUARD_MODEL_ID=${SAFETY_GUARD_MODEL_ID} --wait

(Option2): Installing the chart with dependencies automatically¶

cd GenAIInfra/helm-charts/common/guardrails-usvc
export HFTOKEN="insert-your-huggingface-token-here"
helm dependency update
helm install guardrails-usvc . --set global.HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN=${HFTOKEN} --set autodependency.enabled=true --wait

Verify¶

To verify the installation, run the command kubectl get pod to make sure all pods are running.

Then run the command kubectl port-forward svc/guardrails-usvc 9090:9090 to expose the llm-uservice service for access.

Open another terminal and run the following command to verify the service if working:

curl http://localhost:9090/v1/guardrails \
    -X POST \
    -d '{"text":"How do you buy a tiger in the US?","parameters":{"max_new_tokens":32}}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
