Goal Intel QAT (QuickAssist Technology) can provide extended accelerated encryption and compression services by offloading the actual encryption and compression request(s) to the hardware QuickAssist accelerators. These accelerators are more efficient in terms of cost and power than general-purpose CPUs for those specific compute-intensive workloads. We want to use QAT Encryption for IBM Storage Ceph Storage Ingress service to do hardware offloading for TLS/Encryption. We can see in this Red Hat Benchmark the possible improvements that we could achieve: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/accelerated-encryption-4th-gen-intelr-xeonr-scalable-processors The IBM Storage Ceph ready nodes: "All Flash" come with QAT processors, so we would also benefit from these improvements when using the ready nodes. We are relating QAT RGW support in 7.1 to take advantage of the lessons learned there. https://jsw.ibm.com/browse/ISCE-329 Why is this important? Reduce node CPU usage and Improve RGW performance when enabling Ingress/Haproxy Encryption. Documentation Requirements This feature needs Documentation on how to enable it and check that it’s working correctly.
