Automating the Deployment of DPDK-based Network Functions on Kubernetes with Fault Tolerance
summary
Automation builds an open-source example-cnf operators bundle that deploys containerized testpmd and T-Rex on OpenShift using SR-IOV, Operator SDK, Ansible and UBI images. The pipeline requires three physical worker nodes (to run packet forwarder, generator and a spare) and runs a drain/reboot fault-tolerance scenario, then collects logs and metrics. A measured outcome shows a noticeable packet loss during pod transition; workflow and images live in the example CNF deploy repo for reuse and extension.
