The proposed SFC controller has been implemented as an extension to the default scheduling feature available in Kubernetes. The SFC controller enables Kubernetes to efficiently allocate container-based service chains while maintaining bandwidth and reducing latency.
- In the
deploymentsfolder you find a Kubernetes Deployment that launches our SFC-controller. Information can be found in the Kubernetes documentation. - Please see
main/main.go. You should change the infrastructure weights/labels based on your own infrastructure before building the container. - Node labels are used to make allocation decisions based on bandwidth and latency.
- Besides, our SFC-controller applies the new Kubernetes concepts of pod and node informers
- If you would like to know further details about our SFC-controller, please read our papers mentioned below.
- Use the
Makefileto build your own Docker image.make build. - Push the Docker image to a container registry:
make push.
- Deploy the SFC-controller policy configuration:
kubectl create -f deployments/scheduler-policy-config.yaml. - Deploy the SFC-controller:
kubectl create -f deployments/sfc-controller-v2.yaml. - Deploy your own pod. See
deployments/pod-example.yaml.
