In "/opt/kata/bin/kata-runime update --help", it has the "--cpuset-mems value" option.  I think this works if there is already a kata container running.  Is there a way to set the cpuset-mems to 0 in the configurations.toml file (for example) so that all the kata containers uses the NUMA node 0 on memory usage?

no, the number of nodes is not configurable from configuration file


In my environment, the kata containers are started through CRI API.  If not possible to preset cpuset-mems for all kata containers, I have to find a programmatic way to set the cpuset-mems.

since you are using ctr, you can use a custom runtime config

ctr run --help
--config value, -c value  path to the runtime-specific spec config file


Thanks,

they are used to specify in which nodes you allow the execution of the containers, these nodes contains information such as what CPUs are local to the node,
I'm not an expert on this, but I guess they can be used to reduce latency or improve something

The nodes in /sys/devices/system/node are memory nodes and they are used for execution of the containers.  Is this the purpose of the nodes?

Thanks,

seems like by default the container engine that you're using tries to assign both nodes (0,1) to the container, unfortunately inside the VM (where the container is created)
there is only one node (0), as a temporal workaround, can you change this behavior? (i.e docker run --cpuset-mems="0" ....)

Hi Al

how many memory nodes have your system? ( ls /sys/devices/system/ | grep node   | wc -l )

*  ls /sys/devices/system/node | grep node   | wc -l


can you change the number of cpuset-mems to 0? for example in docker: docker run --cpuset-mems="0" ....

Hi Julio,
Attached is the configuration.toml file.  I hope this is what you are looking. for.
