Using Data Processing Units (DPUs) with Kubernetes to offload software infrastructure
Enterprises are shifting their business innovation strategies to embrace the concept of being digitally aware
Application architectures are shifting towards a more disaggregated model that offers greater agility, supports elasticity, and provides greater control for software quality assurance
DPUs can be used to offload core Kubernetes software infrastructure components from the main CPU onto the processing units
DPUs can also offload network packet tracing functionality and service mesh components
Cloud-native infrastructure is required to support the optimal placement of workload, ensure performance, security, manageability, and accessibility to data
DPUs can help enable greater optimization of cloud-native application architecture while ensuring the usage of CPU cores and memory is maximized to support applications
