From Three Pillars to More with OpenTelemetry - Steve Flanders, Splunk
Wednesday December 11, 2024 11:30am - 12:05pm IST
305
OpenTelemetry has transformed the observability landscape by moving beyond the traditional three pillars of traces, metrics, and logs. With these core components now stable, the project is expanding its reach to encompass even more facets of system monitoring and performance analysis. In this session, we will explore the latest advancements in OpenTelemetry, including the integration of profiling, which offers deeper insights into application performance by capturing detailed execution data. Additionally, we'll discuss the emerging concept of entities, which promises to provide a more holistic view of system components and their interactions. By expanding its capabilities, OpenTelemetry is not just enhancing the granularity and scope of observability but also setting the stage for more comprehensive and actionable insights. Join us to learn how these new developments can help you achieve unparalleled visibility into your systems and drive better operational outcomes.

Revolutionizing Hybrid HCI: How Kubernetes Transforms Multi-Cloud and Legacy Management - Ashik J M & Sibiraja L, Cloudera
Wednesday December 11, 2024 11:30am - 12:05pm IST
Managing hybrid environments with public and private clouds poses significant challenges, especially with disparate interfaces and legacy applications. Our development and QE teams faced difficulties navigating multiple environments—testing private cloud code on private Docker clouds and public cloud code on public resources. Legacy apps, often running on bare metal or metal instances, added complexity. To tackle this, we used Kubernetes and CNCF projects like KubeVirt, CrossPlane, and Longhorn to build a unified hybrid hyper-converged cloud platform. This session will explore how we integrated these technologies to streamline operations. You'll learn about the initial challenges, how KubeVirt enabled virtualization, CrossPlane’s role in multi-cloud management, Longhorn’s storage solutions, and the unification of these components into a cohesive platform.

Ensuring Seamless Service Continuity in 5G: Enhancing Kubernetes Disaster Recovery for Telecom - Saurabh Swaraj, Grace Hanusha, Sunil N, Ganesh Chandrasekaran & Karthikeyan Subramaniam, Samsung
Wednesday December 11, 2024 2:55pm - 3:30pm IST
In the telecom industry, service availability is critical, making local and geographic redundancy essential for disaster recovery. While 5G Core Networks emphasize centralized, cloud-native strategies, 5G Access Networks require distributed, low-latency redundancy for edge cloud environments. Current CNCF tools like Velero, Portworx, and Stash offer Backup and Recovery Solutions but lack live synchronization between active and standby clusters, crucial for telecom's KPI needs. This session will explore a K8S-native solution designed to bridge this gap, offering seamless redundancy for telecom workloads, particularly in microservices-based deployments like vRAN/ORAN. This solution supports a 2-way policy-based sync, allowing for fine-grained control on how data is managed during failover. The solution integrates with CNCF projects, including Nephio for intent-based automation and Prometheus for real-time monitoring, aligning with the move towards distributed cloud-native deployments.

From CPU to GPU: Progressive Delivery for Complex ML Deployments - Sumit Jain & Divyansh Saxena, Adobe
Wednesday December 11, 2024 3:45pm - 4:20pm IST
Applying modern deployment strategies, such as incremental releases, to complex ML architectures presents unique challenges, including managing resource constraints and ensuring cost efficiency. In the GPU environment, new replicas can take up to an hour to become operational due to extended image pull times. Despite these challenges, implementing advanced deployment strategies is crucial to minimise the impact of faulty versions, much like in traditional CPU workloads. In this session we will present on how to overcome these hurdles in GPU-based workloads. We will: - Start with traditional deployment approaches. - Progressively address advanced scenarios, such as implementing cost-efficient progressive delivery for high CPU-consuming workloads on GPU nodes and orchestrating sequential multi-resource deployments. - Reference our recent experience designing CI/CD for the GenAI applications. - Conclude by sharing cost comparison and best practices for GenAI model deployments.

GenAI Recipes For Cloud Native Deployment - Arun Gupta, Intel & Kaushal Desai, Infosys
Wednesday December 11, 2024 5:40pm - 6:15pm IST
OPEA, the Open Platform for Enterprise AI, is a new project with the Linux Foundation. It provides a framework of composable microservices for state-of-the-art GenAI systems including LLMs, data stores, and prompt engines to expedite enterprise adoption. It provides blueprints of end-to-end workflows for popular usage such as ChatQnA, CodeGen, and RAG systems. This talk explores the practical steps for deploying Generative AI (GenAI) applications in cloud-native environments using OPEA. It will show deployments on a Kubernetes cluster on a range of hyperscalers. A wide variety of data stores, including opensource vector databases and managed services, will be used to demonstrate RAG capabilities. We will show the results of scale testing with > 50K documents. The attendees will learn how to deploy GenAI applications in a cloud-native way using OPEA. Explicit contribution opportunities will be shared with the attendees.

Search/Vector DBs as Microservices: Pros and Cons - Radu Gheorghe, Vespa.ai
Wednesday December 11, 2024 5:40pm - 6:15pm IST
201
Traditionally, search engines and vector DBs (the boundaries got blurry lately) are deployed as monoliths in a cluster, managed by a StatefulSet and a lot of technology-specific logic. Newer use-cases (e.g. RAG, semantic search in general) implicitly push for more stateless work: e.g. generate embeddings on the fly, re-rank, local LLMs. Decoupling this work and managing it separately makes more sense now, but is it worth the complexity? This session takes a deep dive into the architectures of search engines (mainly Vespa, but Elasticsearch, Solr and others will be in the picture, too) to highlight both pros and cons of separating concerns in information retrieval. And how much separation is good for which scenario. In the end, you should have a better idea about both the technology and the deployment type that fits your use-case best.

We, Priyanka and Jason, have been involved in Kubernetes release cycles for years, taking on roles from shadow to Release Lead and Emeritus Advisor. While we've worked with Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals (KEPs) throughout this time, it wasn’t until the 1.29 release, while prepping for press interviews, that we really dug into them—and wow, did we learn a lot! KEPs aren’t just feature proposals; they give you a peek into the entire lifecycle of a feature—designs, alternatives, testing, and final code. They’re a goldmine for understanding Kubernetes, whether you’re new or a seasoned contributor. We’ll walk you through some real KEPs and share our approach to reading and making sense of them. If you’re curious about Kubernetes and want to explore its features more deeply, join us. There’s so much to discover, and we’re excited to share what we’ve learned with you!
