Scaling Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1 to more than 1000+ virtual nodes

July 9, 2024 - Asma Suhani Syed Hameed, Rajesh Pulapakula

As Red Hat OpenStack Platform has evolved in recent years to accommodate a diverse range of customer needs, the demand for scalability has become increasingly vital. Customers depend on Red Hat OpenStack Platform to deliver a resilient and adaptable cloud infrastructure, and as its usage expands, so does the necessity for deploying more extensive clusters.

Over the past years we have undertaken efforts to scale Red Hat Openstack Platform 16.1 to more than 700+ baremetal nodes. This year, the Red Hat Performance & Scale Team has dedicated itself to pushing Red Hat OpenStack's Platform scalability to unprecedented heights. As demand for scaling the Red Hat OpenStack Platform increased, we conducted an exercise to test the scalability of over 1000+ virtual computes. Testing such large scales typically requires substantial hardware resources for baremetal setups. In our endeavor, we achieved a new milestone by successfully scaling to over 1000+ overcloud nodes on Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1…read more

In this article, we'll explore various strategies for optimizing GPU utilization via oversubscription across workloads in Red Hat OpenShift AI clusters. OpenShift AI is an integrated MLOps platform for building, training, deploying and monitoring predictive and generative AI (GenAI) models at scale across hybrid cloud environments…read more

Scale testing image-based upgrades for single node OpenShift

June 28, 2024 - Alex Kros

Image-based upgrades (IBU) are a developer preview feature in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.15 that reduce the time required to upgrade a single node OpenShift cluster. The image-based upgrade can perform both Z and Y stream upgrades, include operator upgrades in the image, and rollback to the previous version manually or automatically upon failure. Image-based upgrade can also directly upgrade OpenShift Container Platform 4.y to 4.y+2, whereas a traditional OpenShift upgrade would require two separate upgrades to achieve the same end result (4.Y to 4.Y+1 to 4.Y+2) …read more

Ensure a scalable and performant environment for ROSA with hosted control planes

May 30, 2024- Russell Zaleski Murali Krishnasamy, David Sanz Moreno, Mohit Sheth

Ensuring that OpenShift is performant and scalable is a core tenant of the OpenShift Performance and Scale team at Red Hat. Prior to its release (and still to this day), ROSA undergoes a vast array of performance and scale testing to ensure that it delivers industry leading performance. These tests run the gamut from control plane and data path focus, to upgrades, to network performance. These tests have been used to help measure and better the performance of “classic” ROSA, but what happens when we move to hosted control planes?... read more

Accelerating generative AI adoption: Red Hat OpenShift AI achieves impressive results in MLPerf inference benchmarks with vLLM runtime

DPDK latency in OpenShift - Part II

February 20, 2024 - Rafael Folco, Karl Rister, Andrew Theurer

In a previous article, we shared the results of the DPDK latency tests conducted on a Single Node Openshift (SNO) cluster. We were able to demonstrate that a packet can be transmitted and received back in only 3 µs, mostly under 7 µs and, in the worst case, 12 µs. These numbers represent the round trip latencies in Openshift for a single queue transmission of a 64 byte packet, forwarding packets using an Intel E810 dual port adapter…read more

Correlating QPS rate with resource utilization in self-managed Red Hat OpenShift with Hosted Control Planes

January 23, 2024 - Guoqing Li

The general availability of hosted control planes (HCP) for self-managed Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (KubeVirt) is an exciting milestone. However, the true test lies in system performance and scalability, which are both crucial factors that determine success. Understanding and pushing these limits is essential for making informed decisions. This article offers a comprehensive analysis and general sizing insights for consolidating existing bare metal resources using hosted control planes for self-managed OpenShift Virtualization. It delves into the resource usage patterns of the hosted control planes, examining their relationship with the KubeAPIServer QPS rate.
