Inference workloads are becoming increasingly prevalent and vital in Cloud Native world. However, it's not easy, one of the biggest challenges is large foundation model can not fit into a single node, which brings out the distributed inference with model parallelism, again, make serving inference workloads more complicated.
LeaderWorkerSet, aka. LWS, is a dedicated multi-host inference project aims to solve this problem, it's a project under the guidance of Kubernetes SIG-Apps and Serving Working Group. It offers a couple of features like dual-template for different types of Pods, fine-gained rolling update strategies, topology managements and all-or-nothing failure handlings.
What's more, vLLM, an inference engine, renowned for its performance and easy-to-use, has gained widespread popularity. In this presentation, we'll show you how to use LWS to deploy distributed inference with vLLM on Kubernetes.
