V1.0.0

Change Description

The SR-IOV technology can virtualize a single physical PCIe device into multiple virtual PCIe devices, and then pass through these virtual devices to each VM, so as to be applied in scenarios where a single physical PCIe device supports running of multiple VMs. However, in a Kubernetes cluster, an SR-IOV device usually needs to be manually mounted to a container. This is particularly complex and inefficient when a cloud service provider needs to manage a large quantity of server containers, because a mounting option needs to be separately configured for each container, which is inconvenient for operation and maintenance. To solve this problem, the Kubernetes SR-IOV device passthrough plugin automatically identifies and manages SR-IOV devices on nodes, and automatically completes the mounting process based on the SR-IOV device type specified in the configuration file, streamlining the usage process.

Version 1.0.0 has the following changes:

• Automatically filters SR-IOV devices to be managed based on the device number, vendor number, and driver name of the SR-IOV devices configured by users.
• Identifies KAE-related devices, automatically allocating VFs to containers, and mount devices.
