Hi, I just wanted to share this quick update.
>From my yesterday's talk [1] [2], I stated a few issues with making DPDK interface persistent across reboots. In my f2f conversation with Aaron Conole from RedHat, I was made aware that those issues are addressed on RedHat platforms (Fedora) as they wrote special driverctl scripts to make sure that they do the right set of things. There are 2 issues related to making DPDK interfaces persistent at least on *Ubuntu 17.04* 1. /etc/dpdk/interfaces don't work as intended on Ubuntu - they only load Kernel mode drivers even though user mode driver is specified. 2. Once they are bound later, the OVS switch may or may not recognize correctly as the switch itself has started. Restarting the switch has not given me 100% success. I believe, these issues are fixed on RedHat platforms per Aaron.
