🪧 Poster Session: Optimizing Pod Affinity in Kubernetes: A Mathematical Approach to Workload Placement - Jack Xue, Microsoft

Wednesday November 13, 2024 6:00pm - 8:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | Halls A-C + 1-5 | Solutions Showcase

A standout feature of Kubernetes is its sophisticated mechanism for pulling container images from repositories, aligning containers with the appropriate pods, and strategically deploying pods to nodes that meet their resource requirements—such as CPU, GPU, RAM, network, and storage. This process adheres to the defined affinity and anti-affinity specifications between pods and nodes. Despite these capabilities, the challenge of optimally arranging a multitude of workloads, each comprising several pods within a cluster, remains an ongoing endeavor. In our research, we illustrate that a set of YAML files, which detail a workload deployment request, can be systematically transformed into a Binary Integer Linear Programming (BILP) model. Depending on the specific optimization goals, the objective functions of the model can be tailored accordingly. With the imposition of broad conditions, it is feasible to derive an optimal solution that adheres to polynomial time complexity constraints.

🪧 Poster Session: Unleashing the Power of Prediction to Proactively Scale Control Plane Components - Anubhav Aeron & Ryan Tay, Intuit

Wednesday November 13, 2024 6:00pm - 8:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | Halls A-C + 1-5 | Solutions Showcase

At Intuit, our control plane components such as IstioD are responsible for hundreds of applications per cluster. It is responsible for configuring data plane, as well as injecting the istio-proxy container. With an increase in application traffic, there is an increase in application pods, which results in the control plane to scale up. For critical control planes such as IstioD, it is wise to scale proactively, rather than as a reaction to increase in load. With traditional approaches, like tuning HPA thresholds, to scale in advance, we might pre scale even when not required due to outliers, which could be wasteful. At Intuit a novel deep learning forecasting model called N-HiTS was employed to solve this issue. This session will discuss and demo how we train N-HiTS, our most important model features, and how we deploy our service on a per-cluster basis to provide contextualized predictions for cost effective and on time auto-scaling.
