The Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) is a 25G SmartNIC developed by + Annapurna Labs based on a custom ARMv8 chip. This is a + high-performance networking card that is available to AWS virtual + machines. It introduces enhancements in network utilization + scalability on EC2 machines running various operating systems, in + particular &os;.

+ +

The goal of &os; enablement is to provide top performance and a + wide range of monitoring and management features such as:

+ +

multiple queue modes
various offload functionality
admin queue
asynchronous notification
robust hardware access
scalable number of MSI-X interrupts
counters

+ +

The current state offers stable driver operation with good + performance on machines running &os; directly on the hardware.

+ + + + Annapurna Labs — an Amazon company + + + + Optimize performance for virtualized environments. + + Prepare for submitting the driver as a Phabricator + review. + +
