Hello,

 

Node Feature Discovery (NFD) v0.12.0 is released. Please see the release page for more information. Issues can be reported here.

 

What's new

 

Node tainting

NFD now supports node tainting. NodeFeatureRule custom resource was extended to create taints. See documentation for more information.

 

NodeFeature CRD

(EXPERIMENTAL) NFD defines new NodeFeature custom resource for communicating node features and node labeling requests and they can be used for implementing 3rd party extensions. Support for NodeFeature API is disabled by default in this release but will be enabled and is intended to replace the gRPC API between nfd-worker and nfd-master in the future.

See documentation for more details.

 

Improvements in topology-updater

NFD-Topology-Updater is now a standalone component, not depending on nfd-master, anymore. Topology-updater got support for configuration file, with one config option excludeList for filtering out resources from accounting. Topology-updater also now supports retrieving kubelet config from configz API endpoint (by default) and received a bunch of bug fixes.

 

Deprecations

Miscellaneous

  • Improved documentation, major restructuring of deployment and usage docs
  • ignore operational state of network interfaces when detecting
    network labels – fixes issues with network SR-IOV labels in some scenarios
  • new CPU features
    • Intel TDX
    • CPUID
      • TME, AMXFP16 and PREFETCHI
      • AVXVNNI (non-AVX512)
      • Better detection of features that have both AVX512 and non-AVX512 versions (GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ)
      • Major update for ARM, POWER, and Z features
  • Helm: improved management of CRDs, now supports --skip-crds
  • switched over to registry.k8s.io container image registry

 

 

Thanks,

    Markus Lehtonen, on behalf of the NFD team
