About this talk

This keynote discusses the challenges of scheduling AI inference workloads in large, multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters, focusing on GPU access and resource management. The speaker, Mukund Muralikrishnan, a Staff Engineer at Wayve, explains how Kubernetes supports various inference tasks, highlighting the need for predictable access to GPU resources. The talk covers the limitations of default Kubernetes scheduling and details the utilization of Kueue, a Kubernetes-native solution that enhances GPU cluster management by improving allocation predictability and cluster utilization. The session concludes with insights on how frameworks like Ray integrate into their architecture as Wayve evolves its AI Driver platform.
