Platform and Infrastructure

  • cSRX deployment on Kubernetes using CRI-O or Podman instead of Docker—You can deploy cSRX in Kubernetes using Container Runtime Interface-Open (CRI-O) or Podman as the container runtime instead of Docker. This runtime choice maintains compatibility and operational continuity as Kubernetes deprecates Docker support. Configure your Kubernetes cluster to use CRI-O or Podman and deploy cSRX with those runtimes.

  • Integration of Mellanox ConnectX SmartNIC in containerized deployments (cSRX)—You can deploy cSRX with single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) on SmartNICs using Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) poll mode drivers on x86 and ARM platforms to enhance network performance. This approach also facilitates the transition from virtualized network function (VNF) to cloud-native network function (CNF) infrastructure.

    This integration, supported by the DPDK driver modules, addresses the increasing demand for Mellanox NICs, enabling you to meet the evolving requirements of your infrastructure efficiently.
