KMM - Your Swiss Army Knife for Kernel Modules on Kubernetes

Explore the Kernel Module Management (KMM) operator, a powerful tool for deploying and managing kernel modules in Kubernetes environments. This conference talk delves into the challenges of deploying drivers for AI/ML workloads, edge computing, and software-defined storage solutions, and demonstrates how KMM addresses these issues. Learn how KMM utilizes purpose-built OCI images to load appropriate modules on specific nodes, builds images, and signs kernel modules in-cluster for Secure Boot compatibility. Witness a live demonstration showcasing KMM's features, including building, loading, and upgrading kernel modules on select nodes. Gain insights into a real-world production example of how KMM simplifies GPU driver deployment and lifecycle management in Kubernetes, enabling AI/ML use cases. Discover the potential of this SIG Node project to streamline node customization and enhance your Kubernetes operations.
