Deploying Container Network Functions (CNF) on Kubernetes
summary
Deploys a Vector Packet Processing (VPP) CNF on Kubernetes 1.18 using Multus, SR‑IOV CNI and the SR‑IOV device plugin with DPDK passthrough; cluster is Ubuntu 18.04 RT with Docker 1.19, two Intel dual‑port cards producing 4 PFs each with 16 VFs. Demonstrates VPP CNF with SR-IOV+DPDK successfully pinging outside, shows 4 CPUs pinned and 8 GB 1Gi hugepages consumed, verifies 124 1Gi hugepages per NUMA and TopologyManager single-numa-node alignment so CPU and PCI devices sit on the same NUMA.
