Extending Kubernetes for AI | Lessons Learned From Platform Engineering - Susan Wu, Google; Lucy Sweet, Uber; Andrea Giardini, Overstory; Etienne Dilocker, Weaviate.io; Tim Wickberg, SchedMD
Friday April 4, 2025 11:45 - 12:15 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrance S10 | Room A
Kubernetes and the open-source ecosystem are becoming the universal control plane not only for conventional app orchestration but also for building AI applications. Yet, developers and cluster operators struggle with cost optimization for the specialized compute and customizing Kubernetes.

In this session, hear from the platform engineers for Morgan Stanley, Uber, Trivago and learn how they designed shared platforms with infrastructure across cloud providers to support both business-critical apps and accelerated workloads.

You can expect to come away with guidance, hear of pitfalls to watch out for and learn how they extended Kubernetes with custom controls and other cloud native projects and built efficient, self-service interfaces to enable developer velocity and researcher experimentation.
