Network Traffic Quality of Service (QoS) for Kubernetes Pods

Learn how to implement network traffic Quality of Service (QoS) for Kubernetes pods in this 22-minute technical talk from LF Networking. Explore how to leverage eBPF/XDP technology-based CNI drivers to provide differentiated network QoS requirements beyond basic bandwidth limits. Discover a practical use case focusing on payment processing pods requiring priority network access for transaction requests from the edge. Gain insights into Mizar's XDP-first architecture and its unique approach to implementing fine-grained network QoS for pod traffic. Master the techniques of combining XDP and Linux Traffic Control BPF hooks to create network QoS classifications using the Earliest Departure Time algorithm for traffic rate-limiting. Understand how to integrate QoS features with data center physical switches to achieve end-to-end network QoS for pods, complete with a practical demonstration of these concepts in action.
