K8s Labels Everywhere! Decluttering With Node Profile Discovery

Explore a 25-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021 that introduces Node Profile Discovery (NPD), a new component designed to work with Node Feature Discovery (NFD) in Kubernetes clusters. Learn how NPD provides an additional layer of abstraction, aggregating individual features into higher-level profiles and applying them to suitable nodes. Discover how this approach can simplify the management of diverse clusters with varying node capabilities and features, making life easier for both application developers and system administrators. Gain insights into the challenges of tracking individual features on a node-by-node basis in large-scale deployments and understand how NPD can help declutter and streamline the process of managing Kubernetes labels.
