Automating the Deployment of DPDK-based Network Functions on Kubernetes with Fault Tolerance

Automating the Deployment of DPDK-based Network Functions on Kubernetes with Fault Tolerance

Learn how to automate DPDK-based Network Functions deployment on Kubernetes with fault tolerance in this 24-minute technical talk from Red Hat engineer Manuel Rodriguez. Explore the implementation of Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNF) using example-cnf, an open-source project that demonstrates DPDK and SR-IOV technologies in Telco environments. Discover how Kubernetes Operators built with open-source toolkits deploy TRex-based packet generators to emulate 5G-UE network traffic profiles. Understand various use cases, from basic TRex-DPDK traffic flows to advanced scenarios involving node cordoning and draining, showcasing the system's fault tolerance capabilities and node reconciliation processes in containerized environments.
