Fast Packet Processing with KubeVirt

Explore fast packet processing with KubeVirt in this 57-minute webinar from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Learn about the Hyperconverged Operator (HCO) architecture, its deployment and upgrades, and how it simplifies running high-performance virtual machines on Kubernetes. Discover Kubernetes performance essentials and how to configure VMs to use SR-IOV network devices for enhanced packet processing. Gain insights into KubeVirt basics, opinionated installations, and various packet processing techniques, including regular, faster, and fast packet processing methods. Understand the role of network add-ons, Multus, SR-IOV operators, device plugins, and CNI in optimizing network performance. Follow along as experts David Vossel and Petr Horacek from Red Hat guide you through practical examples and configurations for implementing fast packet processing in cloud-native environments.
