I wonder if they A/B tested the EEVDF scheduler? Allegedly it is supposed to reduce noisy neighbour effects in multi tenanted environments. It would be interesting if kubernetes had stronger CPU isolation techniques. There is the static cpu manager which will dedicate cores for a specific container but I believe it isn’t smart enough to know about hyperthreads and so you can still get a noisy neighbour running on the other hyperthread of the core. Ideally I would like to see kubernetes slice out a certain number of cores for the system daemons/kernel, IRQs, and NIC buffers. Some very low latency systems running on top of kubernetes recommend using isolcpus to do this but it would be nice to have something built into the kubernetes CPU manager to do this. A container running inside the guaranteed QoS class should have exclusive access to the cores and never be pre-empted.
