v0.9.1

What's Changed

This release update dependencies and brings support for Ubuntu 24.04, openSUSE Leap 15.5, Debian 11 "bullseye" and Debian 12 "bookworm". Support for EOL'd Centos 7, Centos 8, openSUSE Leap 15.4 and Debian 10 were removed.

Full Changelog: v0.9.0...v0.9.1

v0.9.0

What's New since v0.8.4

New dynamic-pools policy

A new policy that allows applications to be assigned to dynamically resized CPU pools. The pools are non-overlapping and are resized based on the resource requests of the containers and the actual CPU utilization of the application.

Enhancements to balloons policy

New PreferSpreadOnPhysicalCores configuration option in the balloons policy. Enabling this option for a balloon makes the CPU allocator to prefer CPUs from separate physical CPU cores.

There are also bugfixes to dynamic configuration updates.

CRI v1alpha2 dropped

Support for deprecated CRI version v1alpha2 was removed. This means that CRI-RM v0.9 requires Kubernetes v1.23 (or later) and containerd v1.6 (or later) or CRI-O v1.20 (or later).

v0.8.0

Major improvements in this release:

• The balloons policy becomes fully aware of hardware topology, able to utilize idle CPUs, and allows users to choose between packing or spreading workloads across CPUs.
• CRI-RM becomes compatible with CRI v1 towards both kubelet and container runtimes. Backwards compatibility to CRI v1alpha2 is maintained in both directions, too.
• Fixes a crash when pod status data is not available in the synchronization phase at cri-resmgr start-up.
