Prior to this feature, NFD consisted of only software components namely
nfd-master and nfd-worker. We have introduced another software component
called nfd-topology-updater.
NFD-Topology-Updater is a daemon responsible for examining allocated resources
on a worker node to account for allocatable resources on a per-zone basis (where
a zone can be a NUMA node). It then communicates the information to nfd-master
which does the CRD creation corresponding to all the nodes in the cluster. One
instance of nfd-topology-updater is supposed to be running on each node of the
cluster.
