Description

In today’s rapidly evolving cloud-native ecosystem, organizations are striving to boost performance, strengthen security, and simplify operations. This session explores how Red Hat OpenShift seamlessly integrates with different DPUs delivering a ready-to-use solution that offloads networking and pod execution through the OpenShift DPU Operator. Demonstrated with Marvell Octeon 10 DPU we show the transformation of OpenShift environments without adding complexity to accelerate workloads, enhance security with robust isolation and freeing up host CPUs for business logic. Designed for ease of use, it eliminates the need for prior expertise with DPUs by leveraging intuitive workflows and vendor-agnostic APIs to make these advanced capabilities accessible to developers and users alike. Join us to discover how this community-ready technology unlocks unprecedented performance, establishes stronger security boundaries, and sets a new standard for hardware offloading in cloud-native computing.
