Sponsored Keynote: From Cloud Native to Accelerator Native: Kubernetes as the Distri... Jago Macleod

This keynote discusses the transition from Cloud Native to Accelerator Native Computing, presented by Jago Macleod, Engineering Director at Google. The speaker examines how Kubernetes has evolved from a simple container orchestrator to a crucial Distributed Operating System designed for managing accelerated workloads and frameworks. Key topics include the re-architecture of Kubernetes for unified resource management, the scheduling of workloads according to capacity rather than just nodes, and the emerging concept of Autonomous Infrastructure, where Agentic Operations use goal-oriented reasoning for cluster management. This talk highlights the significant impact of specialized hardware on the future of cloud computing and the necessary adaptations within Kubernetes.
