KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021

Spotify began offering a centralized Kubeflow Pipelines product to its machine learning teams around two years ago. Since then, adoption has skyrocketed, with more teams training more models and running increasingly complex experiments. These increased demands on our system come with more stringent demands on us, the Kubeflow team at Spotify, to ensure not just cluster reliability, but cluster equitability. Our job is to not just be cluster maintainers, but cluster stewards—ensuring equitable and reliable access to cluster resources, and keeping users from stepping on each others’ toes. In this talk, we’ll discuss our streamlined tooling to maintain, deploy, and monitor Spotify’s distribution of Kubeflow. We’ll illustrate the challenges we face as we scale to increased user load and increasingly distinct and demanding pipelines, and outline our approach to addressing those challenges with “multi-cluster” Kubeflow. Finally, we’ll give a preview of our future plans for the platform.
