OpenShift Baremetal Deploy
This repository stores resources and deployment artifacts for bare metal OpenShift KNI clusters
It also contains optional features focused on low-latency workloads, NFV workloads, etc.
Installation artifacts
Optional features
- Performance. Performance-related features like Hugepages, real-time kernel, CPU Manager and Topology Manager.
- Bonding. A helper script to create bonding devices with ignition and/or NMstate.
- DPDK. Example workload that uses DPDK libraries for packet processing.
- Kubernetes NMstate. Node-networking configuration driven by Kubernetes and executed by NMstate.
- Kubernetes NMstate day1. Node-networking configuration driven by Kubernetes and executed by NMstate during the deployment of a cluster, by adding settings to install-config.yaml
- PTP. This operator manages cluster-wide Precision Time Protocol (PTP) configuration.
- SCTP. These assets enable Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) in the RHCOS worker nodes.
- SR-IOV. The SR-IOV Network Operator creates and manages the components of the SR-IOV stack.
- CNV. Container Native Virtualization is an add-on to OpenShift Container Platform that allows you to run and manage virtual machine workloads alongside container workloads.
Performance tuning
The Performance Tuning folder contains some assets intended to improve performance such as:
- Huge Pages
- Topology Manager
- CPU manager
- real-time kernel (including a new
worker-rtKubernetes/OpenShift node role)
Those assets are applied mainly via the Node Tuning operator and/or the Machine Config operators.
