+= Setting rcu_normal
+
+The following `MachineConfig` CR configures the system to set `rcu_normal` to 1 after the system has finished startup. This improves kernel latency for vDU applications.
+
+.Recommended configuration for disabling `rcu_expedited` after the node has finished startup in  the `08-set-rcu-normal-master.yaml` file
