As the cloud native ecosystem evolves, it is determined to align platforms and technologies into a well-orchestrated infrastructure for optimum utilisation of compute, network and storage. This infrastructure needs to cater to the needs of a variety of workloads in fields such as telecomms, scientific computing, machine learning, financial services and data analytics. In order to provide the best performance for such workloads, features to provide performance isolation (e.g., CPU pinning, huge pages and accelerators) are required. The resource management working group (RMWG) in Kubernetes is working on the design, development and implementation of such features through the introduction of CPU manager, Huge Pages and Device Plugins.In this presentation, we will demonstrate how to leverage some introduced by RMWG via specific use cases from networking and machine learning (ML).
