Hi,
maybe [1] and [2]/[3]?
 [2]/[3] however states
"On $::osfamily == 'RedHat', no attempt is made to manage /etc/sysconfig/irqbalance. This is arguably a bug."

BR, 
Konstantin

> 
> Hello,
> 
> For using DPDK, CPUs on compute host has to be isolated between Host, DPDK
> PMD and Guests. In order, to configure the host to use only specified CPUs, the
> CPUAffinity [1] configuration in /etc/systemd/system.conf needs to be used.
> Along with CPUAffinity, IRQ repining[2] needs to be done, to pin the interrupt
> requests to the CPUs dedicated to host processes.
> 
> We are planning to do the changes for configuring CPUAffinity and IRQ repining
> via puppet. We couldn't relate this configuration to any existing module. Could
> you please help us with the direction to enable these configurations?
