Reimagining Cloud Native Networks: The Critical Role of DRA - Lionel Jouin, Ericsson Software Technology & Sunyanan Choochotkaew, IBM Research
Tuesday June 17, 2025 15:50 - 16:20 JST
Level 1 | Orion
As AI/ML, high-performance and telecom workloads are progressing in their cloud-native journey, the unique platform requirements inherent to the nature of their functionality are exposing the limitations of existing solutions such as Multus and device plugins. Device Resource Allocation (DRA) offers a fresh approach overcoming these challenges with better resource management for non-homogeneous platforms, topology-aware use cases and beyond! By leveraging the latest Kubernetes features, DRA Drivers are redefining the network interface configuration and enhancing capabilities for multi-network deployments. This talk explores the evolving cloud-native networking landscape and the trade-offs between extending Kubernetes and leveraging add-on components. We will delve into recent advancements including the network device status with KEP-4817, the virtual device allocation with KEP-5075 and the role of the CNI-DRA-Driver in shaping the future of cloud-native networking infrastructure.
