Support for third-party kernel modules on host operating systems

摘要

An example method of running an application workload includes detecting a request from a client for a hardware element for executing a workload of an application, the hardware element using a kernel driver to communicate with a host operating system and being abstracted by a node running on the host operating system. The method also includes creating a container on the node. The method further includes allocating the hardware element for the workload to execute in the container. The method also includes loading, by the container, the kernel driver into the host operating system. The method further includes running, by the container, the workload inside the container using the hardware element.
