NFD-Topology-Updater

---

NFD-Topology-Updater is preferably run as a Kubernetes DaemonSet. This assures re-examination (and CR updates) on regular intervals capturing changes in the allocated resources and hence the allocatable resources on a per zone basis. It makes sure that more CR instances are created as new nodes get added to the cluster. Topology-Updater connects to the nfd-master service to create CR instances corresponding to nodes.

When run as a daemonset, nodes are re-examined for the allocated resources (to determine the information of the allocatable resources on a per zone basis where a zone can be a NUMA node) at an interval specified using the -sleep-interval option. The default sleep interval is set to 60s which is the the value when no -sleep-interval is specified.
