Plans for Realtime Kernel and Realtime Configuration Support in Proxmox?

Hi everyone,
I’m currently exploring Proxmox for some use cases that require low-latency and deterministic behavior - particularly in the context of real-time workloads. I’m wondering if there are any current plans or ongoing discussions around:
  • Supporting a real-time kernel (e.g., with the PREEMPT-RT preemption model).
  • Enabling and integrating real-time system configurations, such as:
    • Integrated workflows for CPU isolation, IRQ affinity, and low-latency tuning
    • vCPU pinning, and using real-time scheduling policies (e.g., SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR)
    • Integration or support for tools like tuned to do the kernel configuration customization options relevant to RT

Are there any official efforts or community-led initiatives in this direction? And if not currently on the roadmap, would this be something of interest to the Proxmox team or the community?

Thanks in advance, and looking forward to your thoughts!

Best regards,
