There is a New Spec in Town: Getting to Know the Device Information...

" summary

A new Device Information Spec standardizes how device plugins and CNIs publish hardware details so multus writes per-interface JSON into the pod’s network status, letting kubelet-device-plugin allocation connect PCI addresses to interface names. Demo uses SR‑IOV and vDPA/vhost‑user paths, a configmap that defines VF pools, and the device plugin placing files under /var/lib/cni/device-info/dp…; multus picks them up and an available network‑attachment client (Go/C bindings) parses it — the end‑to‑end example works.
