Powering Up Online Multiplayer: Leveraging Kubernetes for Game Server Optimization
Level up your online multiplayer experience while optimizing availability and cost-effectiveness! Join us as we explore how Kubernetes revolutionizes game server hosting on virtual or bare metal machines. Discover how Kubernetes enhances compute allocation density, slashes data-transfer costs, and maintains peak performance. Witness how our node provisioning solution dynamically scales cluster nodes based on game session demand, ensuring seamless gameplay during peak hours while conserving resources during off-peak periods. Get ready to achieve economies of scale for your large game servers and power up your game development journey! We will share our deep Kubernetes expertise and passion for games.
Scaling Mastery Quest: Conquering Kubernetes Resources with Karpenter
Embark on the quest for supreme scaling mastery Kubernetes! Picture a dynamic battle within the Kubernetes cluster, where a legion of worker nodes stands ready for an epic showdown. As enterprises gear up for this journey, they must strategically choose instances with appropriate compute, memory, and network powers to conquer the challenges of a colossal cluster. In this quest, unlock strategies to automate resource scaling at both pod and cluster levels, executing calculated moves of efficiency. Witness the mastery of Karpenter, illustrating how to manage scaling easily while keeping vigilant eye on the budget. By embracing these strategies, teams can level up their Kubernetes clusters to a myriad of worker nodes, ensuring a balance between flexibility and high performance in dynamic environments.This session will look at cluster scaling from the lens of the gaming industry and demos how to scale gaming servers smoothly.Get ready to press play on Kubernetes scaling like never before!
Pushing the Limits: Running Large-Scale HPC Workloads on Kubernetes
Kubernetes is rapidly emerging as the platform of choice for running large-scale, high-performance computing (HPC) workloads across industries—from financial services and analytics to scientific research and simulation. But what does it take to push Kubernetes to its limits, orchestrating thousands of jobs and scaling clusters efficiently for demanding, data- and compute-intensive workloads? In this session, we’ll explore practical strategies, architectural patterns, and lessons learned from running HPC workloads on Kubernetes at scale. We’ll cover how to design clusters for elasticity and throughput, leverage open source autoscaling tools like Cluster Autoscaler and Karpenter, and optimize resource usage for both cost and performance. You’ll learn about real-world approaches to stress-testing Kubernetes, best practices for node group design and workload scheduling, and the trade-offs between different autoscaling solutions.
KubeAIOps: Design Patterns and Strategies for AI-Driven Application Management on Kubernetes
What if deploying, scaling, or troubleshooting Kubernetes apps could be guided by intent, not YAML? KubeAIOps merges Kubernetes, DevOps, and AIOps with agentic AI and natural language interfaces to simplify app lifecycle management—making Kubernetes accessible for devs and powerful for ops.
We’ll explore how LLMs, agentic architectures, and protocols like MCP/A2A turn natural language into cluster actions. We will explore natural language deployment, scaling, and self-healing, integration strategies for existing workflows, while addressing limitations, security, and human oversight.
Attendees will learn:
- Core concepts and architectural patterns for KubeAIOps
- Automating app/infra ops with AI agents
- Use-cases: “deploy my app” to auto-remediation via natural language
- Integrating KubeAIOps with DevOps/GitOps
- Caveats, challenges, and best practices
Whether you’re a dev streamlining deployments or ops embracing automation, join to see how KubeAIOps shapes your app's future.
Building and running an HPC Grid using cloud native services
Running a high-performance computing platform is completely different as you move to the cloud. The emphasis on rapid, intelligent task scheduling to maximise the use of static on-premises compute clusters and the need to provide multi-tenancy at the cluster-level goes away.
In this session, we will present HTC-Grid, an open-source high-throughput compute (HTC) grid system built on top of tried and tested cloud native services. HTC-Grid recognises that the game has changed and that the traditional schedulers often employed in financial services solve a problem that doesn't exist anymore. HTC-Grid addresses massive computational demands by combining very high-throughput scheduling, low round-trip latency and seamless infrastructure orchestration.
HTC-Grid incorporates learnings from many FSI customers re-inventing their grid systems for the cloud. The project was initially developed as an open-source blueprint by AWS, but has been donated to FINOS in order to share the obtained knowledge, provide a reference architecture that can be used to build and adapt a modern high-throughput compute solution, and to incorporate contributions from customers and other CSPs alike.

Graviton Developer Day
Join this hands-on workshop to learn all about AWS Graviton processors and considerations about how to develop and deploy applications to achieve the best EC2 price-performance and sustainability on AWS. During this hands-on workshop you will take an example application running on x86 instances application (choosing from Python, Go or Java) and learn how to migrate, test, and optimize especially for Graviton. Once you have converted the application you will have the opportunity to learn how to deploy it on Graviton infrastructure through Amazon EKS or Autoscaling Groups.
Karpenter: Amazon EKS best practices and cloud cost optimization
Get hands-on experience with Karpenter on Amazon EKS. Karpenter is an application-centric node provisioner that simplifies infrastructure management by provisioning rightsized Amazon EC2 instances for your workload while considering any scheduling constraints. As your workload evolves, Karpenter’s consolidation feature helps continuously optimize your compute onto the fewest, most cost-efficient instances.
