Join lead contributors for an in-depth update on the Kubernetes SIGs project Node Feature Discovery (NFD) – an indispensable add-on for managing labels and other node properties. Gain valuable insights into the project and its impact on Kubernetes cluster management, exploring practical applications, hidden capabilities, and future prospects, enriched by our experiences on heterogeneous clusters.

Delve into the built-in feature detection functions of NFD and explore its diverse customization capabilities, designed to meet a broad spectrum of specific node management needs. Our presentation will showcase the latest developments in NFD, offering a comprehensive view of practical usage scenarios. Witness how NFD enables GPUs and other specialized hardware in Kubernetes and empowers users to integrate confidential computing technologies into their clusters.

Ultimately, NFD delivers cluster admins an automated, secure, and reliable solution for both node feature discovery and labeling.
