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
