I am a Member of the Koordinator community and a developer at Alibaba Cloud. Previously, my main responsibilities within Koordinator involved device management, fine-grained CPU-aware scheduling, and NUMA-aware scheduling. Amidst today's surge in AI applications, I am deeply interested in designing and optimizing the Kubernetes scheduling workflow to more efficiently allocate the cluster's superior computing power to AI workloads, including inference services and training tasks. High-quality delivery of computational power requires the Kubernetes scheduling process to be aware of the underlying devices and network topology, which inevitably increases the complexity of scheduling. My primary interest at KubeCon lies in exploring how to manage this complexity efficiently and precisely. I look forward to engaging in discussions with all of you on this topic.
