Optimizing Kubernetes Network Performance for Cloud Gaming

Explore a technical conference talk that delves into optimizing network performance for cloud gaming environments using Kubernetes. Learn how Red Hat and NVIDIA tackle the challenge of maintaining uninterrupted gameplay and minimal network latency when managing thousands of simultaneous players sharing the same physical network. Discover advanced traffic shaping techniques beyond standard Kubernetes pod-level controls, including the implementation of Differentiated Services Code Point (RFC7657) markings for pod traffic. Through practical demonstrations comparing noisy and victim pods, gain valuable insights into achieving true Quality of Service and wire-speed networking in Kubernetes clusters. Master the use of Kubernetes Custom Resources for packet-parameter-tuned traffic shaping, ensuring optimal network performance and protection against 'noisy neighbor' scenarios when new players join and download large game data.
