hyperpod-version-checker

A checker that reports software and hardware component versions on nodes in an AWS SageMaker HyperPod cluster. HyperPod is AWS infrastructure for running distributed machine-learning workloads across multiple computers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check NVIDIA drivers, CUDA, cuDNN, NCCL, EFA, MPI, Python, PyTorch, and related accelerator software on cluster nodes.
Why use it?
It helps identify incompatible or mismatched versions without checking each node and component manually. The report can be shown as text or produced as JSON for other tools to process.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hyperpod-version-checker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/hyperpod_check_versions.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HyperPod Version Checker

Upload to cluster nodes via hyperpod-ssm skill, then execute.

Usage

# Text report to console + file
bash hyperpod_check_versions.sh

# JSON only to stdout (text report still saved to file) — best for piping/parsing
bash hyperpod_check_versions.sh --json

# Custom output file
bash hyperpod_check_versions.sh --output /tmp/versions.txt

# No color (for logging)
bash hyperpod_check_versions.sh --no-color

Output file: component_versions_<hostname>_<timestamp>.txt (default)

What It Checks

Component Detection Method Applicable When
NVIDIA Driver nvidia-smi GPU instances (p3/p4/p5/g5)
CUDA Toolkit nvcc, /usr/local/cuda symlink GPU instances
cuDNN Header file, packages GPU instances doing deep learning
NCCL Library filename, header, packages Distributed GPU training
EFA /opt/amazon/efa_installed_packages, fi_info EFA-capable instances (p4d/p4de/p5/trn1/trn2)
AWS OFI NCCL efa_installed_packages, library search EFA + NCCL workloads
GDRCopy rpm/dpkg, kernel module GPU instances with RDMA (p4d+/p5)
MPI mpirun, /opt/amazon/openmpi Distributed training
Neuron SDK neuronx-cc, neuron-ls, packages Trainium/Inferentia (trn1/trn2/inf1/inf2)
Python/PyTorch python3, torch import ML workloads
Container runtime docker, containerd, kubectl, nvidia-ctk EKS clusters

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hyperpod-version-checker is a skill published in the GitHub repository awslabs/agent-plugins (876 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 871 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
