Managing a machine learning infrastructure is a great challenge, as its scope covers both common infrastructure tasks – such as cluster management, network, security, container management, and observability – and ML-focused tasks – such as GPU compute, data exploration, distributed training, and model serving. Kubernetes and its prosperous open source ecosystem provides great infrastructure tools (e.g., Knative, Cloud Native Buildpacks, Argo, and Envoy), as well as ML-focused projects (e.g., Kubeflow, KServe, Seldon Core, and KubeRay) that enable infrastructure engineers to build a modern machine learning infrastructure. In this panel, you’ll hear from engineers at Bloomberg, Seldon, and Spotify about how they’re using the Kubernetes ecosystem to provide machine learning infrastructure and their current challenges. Panelists represent a variety of use cases, including end-users and infrastructure providers, as well as both on-prem and cloud-based infrastructures.

The biggest challenge for Kubernetes is sustainability and enabling part-time contributors.

• Kubernetes has a problem with not having enough reviews, approvals, and responsive approvals
• The project is skewed towards full-time contributors
• Efforts are being made to enable part-time contributors, but more work needs to be done

*This event is only available to in-person attendees; first-come, first-served as seating is limited.*K8s after the Honeymoon: It’s ComplicatedJoin us for some delicious food and drink and a panel discussion moderated by The New Stack's Alex Williams and Heather Joslyn where we will talk about the promise of K8s but also engage in a bit of "group therapy" talking about the hard realities of today. With more and more organizations moving from the “DIY” experimentation phase to “operationalization in production at scale”, many are still trying to navigate the complexity of the open source ecosystem, balance flexibility with control, and explore new use cases such as GitOps, or bare metal and edge deployments. Yes, it’s complicated, but the new modern K8s era is coming, for an ever-lasting relationship with cloud native innovation!Sponsored by Spectro Cloud

The End User Partner Summit, hosted by Katie Gamanji virtually, will bring together cloud native users to share best practices and lessons learned. Our 40 minutes together will include a panel discussion with General Manager of CNCF, Priyanka Sharma, Chris Aniszczyk (CTO, CNCF) and members of the CNCF End User TOC. Join us for an engaging conversation centering on strategy, vision, and how to best navigate and contribute to the cloud native community! In order to participate, your organization must be a member of the CNCF End User Community (https://cncf.io/enduser).
