My background is more borg then k8s, but…

Alway allocate whole cores, just mask them off

Dedicate physical IO devices for sensitive workloads

You can have per cgroup swap if you want, but imo swap is not useful

I think all of this is possible in k8s

Whole core masking is not quite as easy as it should be, predominantly because the API is designed to hand wave away actual cores. The way you typically solve this is to go the other way and claim exclusive cores for the orchestrator and other overhead.
