Kubernetes at Box: Microservices at Maximum Velocity
Anyone working on K8s at Box or I guess anywhere else that has deployed it partially feel free to answer this, but:How do you handle gatewaying traffic into Kubernetes from non-K8s services? I've been trying to get a basic cluster out the door with one of our most stateless services, but I'm having a having a hard time just getting the traffic into it.The mechanism I'm using is having a dedicated K8s nodes that don't run pods hold onto a floating IP to act as gateway routers into k8s. They run kube-proxy and flannel so they can get to the rest of things, but ksoftirqd processes are maxing CPU cores on relatively recent CPUs trying to handle about 2Gbps of traffic (2Mpps) which is a bit below the traffic level the non-k8s version of the service is handling. netfilter runs in softirq context, so I figure that's where the problem is.Are you using Calico+BGP to get routes out to the other hosts? What about kube-proxy?
