Description Alberto Losada 2021-01-27 15:56:44 UTC
Document URL: 

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/scalability_and_performance/using-topology-manager.html#seting_up_topology_manager_using-topology-manager

Section Number and Name: 

Setting up Topology Manager

Describe the issue: 

The Feature Gate called LatencySensitive no longer needs to be enabled to configure Topology Manager. Topology Manager feature is already enabled by default since k8s 1.18 (https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/feature-gates/#feature-gates-for-alpha-or-beta-features)

So basically, you just need to set the desired topologyManagerPolicy value in kubelet as a KubeletConfig CR.

Suggestions for improvement: 

Remove this part of the documentation, just explain that it is enabled by default since OCP 4.5 (I believe) and I'll also link in some way that the performance addon operator (GA in 4.6 - https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/scalability_and_performance/cnf-performance-addon-operator-for-low-latency-nodes.html#cnf-tuning-nodes-for-low-latency-via-performanceprofile_cnf-master) is able to help you configuring topology manager policies and more features related to low latency/real-time.

Comment 1 Michael Burke 2021-04-09 19:05:50 UTC
Min -- I found this BZ about the `Latencysensitive` feature set not being required to enable Topology Manager. Because `LatencySensitive` seems to affect only that feature, I removed references to the feature set from the Feature Gates docs. Please let me know if this is correct.

Thank you,
Michael

 Michael Burke, the pr LGTM. When it merge, I will move this bz to verified.
