Strategies for Mitigating Performance Interference in Cloud-Native Systems

Join us for Food, Drinks, and Kubernetes on October 24th, 2024!🎉
We have a special guest Jonathan Perry from OpenTelemetry.

Jonathan Perry is a maintainer of the OpenTelemetry eBPF network collector. His PhD research at MIT CSAIL focused on performance isolation in datacenter and cloud networks, aiming to enhance network efficiency and reduce latency. Jonathan founded Flowmill, where he developed eBPF-based network monitoring tools prior to the company's acquisition by
Splunk. He is based in Austin, Texas.

Description
In cloud-native environments, application performance often degrades due to contention over shared resources such as CPU caches and memory bandwidth. Current container technologies lack mechanisms to isolate these resources, which compels operators to maintain low utilization by scaling out their deployments.

This session explores strategies used by hyperscalers like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Alibaba to mitigate such performance interference. We will review their published methodologies, extracting key principles that could guide the development of a Kubernetes-native performance isolator. Participants will gain insights into the design trade-offs and operational impacts of these tools. Additionally, we will discuss integration strategies for deploying such isolators in existing Kubernetes environments, aiming to optimize resource utilization while preserving application performance.
