Harnessing Kubernetes for Scalable AI/ML Workloads
summary
Kubernetes drives concrete results: Tesla processes ~1.5 TB per car and >100,000 video clips/day, cutting deployment time from two weeks to under four hours by containerizing PyTorch/TensorFlow pipelines and using Triton, while OpenAI runs distributed training for 175B–>1T parameter models, packs GPUs with custom controllers and serves at sub-50 ms latency. Industry telemetry shows 61% cite capacity bottlenecks, 72% reduction in failed runs after Kubernetes autoscaling and device-plugin GPU sharing.
