This feature was requested in [GitHub issue #5061](https://github.com/Azure/AKS/issues/5061) and is now aligned with the upstream Kubernetes GA release of the nftables backend. + + ## Background Kubernetes 1.33 introduced **nftables** as a fully supported kube-proxy mode. It serves as the modern replacement for iptables, offering a more efficient rule model and improved performance characteristics on newer Linux kernels. As highlighted by the upstream project, nftables reduces rule churn and avoids the scaling and latency limitations seen in large clusters using iptables. diff --git a/website/blog/tags.yml b/website/blog/tags.yml index c4d4c4117..cd3258e31 100644 --- a/website/blog/tags.yml +++ b/website/blog/tags.yml @@ -152,6 +152,11 @@ general: permalink: /general description: Broad AKS topics, announcements, conceptual overviews, and cross-cutting guidance. +gpu: + label: GPU + permalink: /gpu + description: deploying and managing GPU workloads on AKS clusters. + grafana: label: Grafana permalink: /grafana @@ -237,6 +242,11 @@ networking: permalink: /networking description: Cluster and application networking, eBPF, traffic management, and connectivity patterns. +nvidia: + label: NVIDIA + permalink: /nvidia + description: NVIDIA GPU integration, drivers, and AI/ML acceleration on AKS. + observability: label: Observability permalink: /observability
