PERFORMANCE TUNING IN A NETWORK SYSTEM

A container-based orchestration system includes a master node and a plurality of worker nodes. The master node can receive, from each agent executing on a corresponding worker node, node characteristics associated with the worker node. The master node can determine, for each worker node, one or more parameters corresponding to the node characteristics associated with the corresponding worker node and a node profile of the worker node and provide the parameters to the agent executing on the corresponding worker node. The agent configures the worker node in accordance with the parameters. In response to receiving a request to deploy a pod to a worker node, the master node can select a worker node to receive the pod based on the node characteristics and the pod characteristics. The agent can configure the selected worker node to execute workloads of the pod in accordance with the one or more parameters.
