Beyond Kubernetes: Adapting To Specialized Application Workloads - Rags Srinivas, Independent; Dawn Chen, Google; Sachi Desai, Microsoft; Vara Bonthu, AWS; Erin Boyd, Nvidia
Friday April 4, 2025 11:00 - 11:30 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room E
AI workloads have taken the Kubernetes world by a storm, but that is only the tip of the iceberg as even more specialized workloads in the realm of high performance compute, for example, need to be optimized and simplified on Kubernetes.

Attend this panel to learn from Kubernetes and cloud experts well versed in different infrastructure and containerized workloads about the existing challenges around Kubernetes today, and strategies for building out the platform to bootstrap these specialized workloads.

Attendees will be able to walk away with an understanding of how the Kubernetes ecosystem continues to evolve, and open-source tools like KAITO and Kueue that enable this growth and automate many of the processes involved. Attendees will also learn from these experts about compute optimizations, scheduling mechanisms, and workload performance enhancements that drastically reduce their time-to-value on Kubernetes.
