What's New

This is the second public release of the NRI reference plugin collection. It demonstrates a wider range of capabilities of NRI by introducing a few new plugins. Numerous Helm chart improvements make plugin deployment easier with this release. This release is a pre-release, not production quality software.

New Plugins, Binaries

Two new plugins have been merged and are now available as part of this release:

memory QoS: class-based or per-container adjustment of cgroup v2 memory.* control knobs
memtierd: launch per-container memtierd instances to track and manage memory of selected workloads

Additionally a new helper binary has been added for automatically enabling NRI support in the runtime. This is available as an init container in the Helm chart deployments.

Other Improvements

Helm repo for the charts is now available at https://containers.github.io/nri-plugins (helm repo add nri-plugins https://containers.github.io/nri-plugins)
vastly improved Helm chart and kustomize support
automatic enabling of NRI in the runtime during plugin deployment (see nri.patchRuntimeConfig in Helm parameters)
improved plugin installation instructions
