I agree, but I think I’ve put less thought into it than you have. Just because I tend to focus on research and low-latency infrastructure, I’ve been really happy with the container-first approach. I really like being able to deal with these processes at the Linux level instead of the VM level and being able to tweak that stuff (cpu placement and isolation, accelerators and rdma network devices, etc.) There’s a reason VMs never really took off in HPC, but I think CRI-O is really poised to change the HPC paradigm, and k8s can be really beneficial in some business applications of HPC. I definitely understand and agree that multitenancy is super important, but it would be a shame to agree that the bare metal performance is an okay sacrifice.
