A Practical Guide to CPU Pinning in Kubernetes
I recently attended the Cloud Native Days France 2026 conference in Paris, where Ricardo Rocha (Head of Infrastructure at CERN) opened the session with a talk titled “10 PB/s without breaking the budget.” He explained in detail how the LHC upgrade forced them to process 10 petabytes of data per second with a fixed computing budget. The solution was not magical hardware, but rigorous resource isolation. If strict resource limits are effective enough for particle physics, they are certainly effective enough for our production workloads. ...
