Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 955eb

The requirements guide still contains unresolved operational and network-control gaps that can lead to inconsistent compliance interpretation and incomplete service protections. Resolve or explicitly accept these gaps before merge.

352-352: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make K8S24 version-specific.

Require DRA support across supported Kubernetes versions. Enable DynamicResourceAllocation only when the selected version requires it. Kubernetes 1.34 made DRA GA and removed this feature gate, so passing it to newer control planes can make the configuration invalid. List any separate gates required by newer DRA features.

In `@docs/references/requirements-for-ai-clouds-v2.4.md` at line 352, Update the
K8S24 requirement to be Kubernetes-version-specific: require DRA across
supported versions, but enable the DynamicResourceAllocation feature gate only
for versions where it exists and is required. Do not pass that gate to
Kubernetes 1.34 or newer, where DRA is GA and the gate was removed; document any
separate feature gates needed by newer DRA capabilities.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/references/requirements-for-ai-clouds-v2.4.md`:
- Line 622: Update the three diagram links in the requirements document to use
the images under the local images directory: nrac-corpnet-connectivity.png,
nrac-storage-connectivity.png, and nrac-internet-access.png. Replace the current
docs/ncp asset paths while preserving the existing diagram order and labels.
- Around line 214-217: Align the Availability bullets with the Request
Durability definition by removing the unrestricted “durably store” requirement
from both bullets and explicitly limiting durable retention to successfully
acknowledged mutating service-management requests. Preserve the existing
non-mutating-request exception unless a measurable durability target for
non-mutating requests is added.
- Line 742: Update the OCR04 requirement to state that service-impacting issues
during the observation period mark the change as failed and must also be handled
through OIE01’s incident-management practice; clarify that remediation of the
failed change does not replace or exclude incident handling.
- Line 697: Update the OIE04 requirement and the related Service Levels section
to define an explicit, measurable deadline for programmatic customer
notification of qualifying service-impacting incidents. Ensure the target is
stated consistently wherever OIE04 and its service-level timeframe are
referenced.
- Line 806: Update the Telemetry Requirements section to define retention
duration and scope by data class, stating that SEC08’s 30-day minimum applies to
audit logs and OSB03’s 12-month minimum applies to security-incident logs and
forensic evidence. Add an explicit precedence rule for telemetry covered by
multiple classes, and ensure OMA05 references these defined retention
requirements.
- Line 630: Update the NET05 requirement description to make high-bandwidth,
end-to-end MACsec encryption and fail-closed access mandatory transport
guarantees, while preserving the existing Private Cloud Interconnect, VIF, BGP,
POP, and private-IP exchange details.
- Line 610: Update requirement NET03 to add BYOIP ownership validation,
tenant-scoped prefix allowlists, and import/export route filtering for BGP
advertisements across NCP, interconnects, and tenant boundaries. Include
negative acceptance tests covering unauthorized prefix advertisements and route
leakage.
