Hi team. This is not a bug, but more like a feature request.

Please enable support for resctrl [1],[2] be enabled in containerd, as it might be desired for certain high-performance, latency-sensitive networking use-cases.

The support for it is available in the Ubuntu kernel ([2]), as it is built with CONFIG_X86_CPU_RESCTRL=y.

containerd also supports it via the config parameter called rdt_config_file [3].

Since containerd depends on runc [4], the support for it seems to be also implemented as part of spec [5].

Though I'm not 100% sure, it seems the only piece that is missing is containerd configuration file template in containerd charm. Also this bug [6] might be relevant, but it's current status is unclear.
