#CPU Feature Discovery for Kubernetes This software enables Intel Architecture (IA) feature discovery for Kubernetes. It detects the CPU features, such as Intel Resource Director Technology (RDT), available in each node of the Kubernetes cluster and labels them appropriately.

##Getting Started

System Requirements

At a minimum, you will need:

  1. [Docker] docker-down (only required to build and push docker images)
  2. [GCC] gcc-down (only required to build software to detect Intel RDT feature set)
  3. Linux (x86_64)
  4. [kubectl] kubectl-setup (properly setup and configured to work with a Kubernetes cluster)

###Installation ####Downloading the Source Code

git clone https://github.com/intelsdi-x/dbi-iafeature-discovery <repo-name>

####Building from Source The build steps described below are optional. The default docker image in Docker hub at intelsdi/nodelabels can be used to decorate the Kubernetes node with IA features. Skip to usage instructions if you do not need to build your own docker image.

Build the Intel RDT Detection Software Using make (Optional):

cd <rep-name>/rdt-discovery
make 

Build the Docker Image (Optional):

cd <repo-name>
docker build -t <user-name>/<image-name> .

Push the Docker Image (Optional)

docker push

Change the Job Spec to Use the Appropriate Image (Optional): Change line #40 in featurelabeling-job.json.template to the appropriate image name in the <user-name>/<image-name> format used for building the image above or use the default intelsdi/nodelabels image.

###Usage Deploying Kubernetes Job for Node Feature Labeling:

./label-nodes.sh

The above command will label each node in the cluster with the features from cpuid. The labeling format used is

<key, val> = <"node.alpha.intel.com/<feature-name>", "true">

Note that only features that are available in that node are labelled.

##Documentation This software determines the Intel Architecture (IA) features associated with a processor using cpuid. The following set of features are discovered and labelled by this software.
