The Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds runnable Ascend/Volcano tutorial examples with a small reported-memory inconsistency and Pods that lack baseline privilege restrictions.

configuration from 8 to 7, matching the driver’s maximum supported vNPUs per
card.

the required Ascend device permissions.
In `@tutorials/labs/volcano-ascend-vnpu.md`:
- Around line 731-741: In tutorials/labs/volcano-ascend-vnpu.md lines 731-741,
revise the “Isolation is enforced per container” claim and evidence to state
only quota visibility/configuration, unless adding a workload allocation test
that demonstrates enforcement. Apply the identical evidence or wording change in
i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs-tutorials/current/labs/volcano-ascend-vnpu.md
lines 731-741; keep both translations consistent.
- Around line 361-365: Use a stable WEBSITE_ROOT (or return to the website
checkout) for manifest paths in tutorials/labs/volcano-ascend-vnpu.md at lines
361-365, 444, 521, and 612, and apply the same fix at the corresponding lines in
i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs-tutorials/current/labs/volcano-ascend-vnpu.md.
Ensure all scheduler and lab manifest commands resolve from the website checkout
regardless of the current directory.
- Around line 101-102: Update the label-inspection commands using kubectl at
tutorials/labs/volcano-ascend-vnpu.md lines 101-102 and
i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs-tutorials/current/labs/volcano-ascend-vnpu.md
lines 101-102 to use JSON-producing output, such as -o json or -o
jsonpath-as-json, so python3 -m json.tool can parse the result; apply the same
correction to the commands at lines 558-559 in both files.
- Around line 219-220: Update the kubectl download URL in both
tutorials/labs/volcano-ascend-vnpu.md (lines 219-220) and
i18n/zh/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs-tutorials/current/labs/volcano-ascend-vnpu.md
(lines 219-220) from v1.31.0 to v1.28.15, leaving the surrounding installation
commands unchanged.
