This blog post describes the TopologyManager, a beta feature of Kubernetes in release 1.18. The TopologyManager feature enables NUMA alignment of CPUs and peripheral devices (such as SR-IOV VFs and GPUs), allowing your workload to run in an environment optimized for low-latency.
Prior to the introduction of the TopologyManager, the CPU and Device Manager would make resource allocation decisions independent of each other.
