- Sirshak: Explain VPP Path and VPP Device
- Open Questions and Answers surrounding VPP Device
- Q. Do the Intel onboard NICs support VFs via SRIOV on machiattobin boards ?
- A.[Natalie] We support it but it’s not formally released yet. Will be formally delivered in 18.09.
- BB - Kernel bypass uses UIO possible to do. [natalie] check support for VF for onboard NICs
- Q. If Yes, is it a hardware level support or supported in musdk also ?
- A.[Natalie] MUSDK is not relevant here. Intel NICs are using DPDK and ARM infrastructure directly. We support PCIE SR-IOV with both v4.4 and v4.14 kernels
- Q. Has anybody tested containers (docker) and any container orchestration system on mcbin (e.g Docker Swarm or Kubernetes) ?
- A.[Natalie] Yes.
- Q. K8s or Docker Swarn ?
- A. [Bin Arm Internal] K8s is good choice version(1.9.4). Use kubeadm to install k8s cluster.
- Q. VM inside a container works on ARM ?
- A. [Bin ARM Internal] Use Kata and Runv. Kata/Runv is the solution of hardware-virtualized containers.
- Q. Container within a Container(nested) works on ARM ?
- A.[Bin ARM Internal] ‘Docker in docker’ or ‘Docker of Docker’ can works well on Arm platform.
