描述

What would you like to be added

I would like to have built-in support for deploying the SR-IOV CNI plugin and enabling DPDK-based workloads in Kubernetes clusters, including streamlined configuration of SR-IOV network devices, VF allocation, and DPDK-compatible runtime settings.

Why is this needed

This is needed to support low-latency, high-throughput network functions (such as CNFs) in Telco Cloud environments. SR-IOV provides direct hardware access for pods, while DPDK enables fast packet processing in user space. Automating this setup simplifies deployment, ensures consistency, and reduces operational complexity in production environments that require deterministic performance.

研究方向
Investigate existing Kubespray roles for CNI plugins (e.g., calico, flannel) to model SR IOV CNI support. Examine variables and templates for device plugin configuration. Research DPDK runtime settings and kernel parameters required for DPDK workloads. Look for prior discussions or PRs in the kubespray repository related to SR IOV and DPDK.
