Project Description
Containerization is here to stay and seems to be the next big thing also in the upcoming OSes releases. Most of the customers appreciate its lightweight, its resiliency and its scalability; some of them do use these features to push very hard on consolidation, squeezing every single cycle out of their CPUs.
But what when it comes to networking? Is there any chance to couple the benefits of containerization with the superpowers of DPDK library?
Goal for this Hackweek
- Outline an architecture offering DPDK capabilities to the containers
- Setup a DPDK-capable container environment
- (optional): Setup a DPDK-capable Kubernetes installation
- Benchmarking the networking for the DPDK-capable vs the non-DPDK-capable environments

Looking at https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/howto/virtiouserforcontainernetworking.html two main approaches emerge: slicing and aggregation. Slicing relies on SR-IOV and Virtual Functions: not having at hand an SR-IOV capable NIC I decided to postpone this investigation. Aggregation decouples the physical NIC access from the containers introducing OpenVSwitch as middle layer: this simplifies the setup and opens the door to connection between containers, VMs and VirtualApps.
My investigation on how to connect containers using OVS is summarized here: https://github.com/paolo-depa/container-on-ovs
