SIG-Apps: Powering Applications with High-Volume Data and APIs - Maciej Szulik, Red Hat & Janet Kuo, Google

Thursday November 14, 2024 11:00am - 11:35am MST

Salt Palace | Level 3| 355 BC

Over the last decade, Kubernetes expanded support for various workloads from stateless to stateful, from simple jobs to complicated batch workloads. All the APIs have become mature, consistent, and full-featured. We've been busy in SIG Apps, and there's more to come. In this session the SIG Apps leads will provide an overview of what has been accomplished since its inception. They will highlight major milestones, sub-projects and share various stories surrounding major events. They will also discuss how the work has been shared between SIG Apps, Work Groups and sub-projects. The session will conclude with an open discussion and Q&A. Attendees will learn about contributing to SIG Apps themselves.

SIG Autoscaling Projects Update - Jack Francis, Microsoft

Thursday November 14, 2024 11:55am - 12:30pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 3| 355 BC

The last year’s been an exciting time for SIG Autoscaling, with Karpenter being accepted as a subproject just before Kubecon NA 2023, work to support more advanced workload types for operators, and more. Come along to hear about: Karpenter’s first year as a SIG Subproject - what’s happened over the last year, and what we’ve got planned for the next year. Dynamic Resource Allocation - how the SIG is involved in k8s’ efforts to make it easier for users to run cost effective and efficient workloads requiring GPUs and other custom resources. Provisioning Requests and Pod & Node Headroom - new APIs planned for the Cluster Autoscaler and Karpenter to support long standing requests for improved support for batch workloads and from cluster operators. Improvements in the SIG’s processes - the SIG’s been hard at work improving and extending our use of k8s’ test infra, expanding our test coverage, as well as improving our release processes over the last year.

Kubernetes SIG Storage: Intro & Deep Dive - Saad Ali & Michelle Au, Google; Xing Yang, VMware by Broadcom; Hemant Kumar, Red Hat

Thursday November 14, 2024 2:30pm - 3:05pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 3| 355 BC

Kubernetes SIG Storage is responsible for ensuring that different types of file and block storage are available wherever a container is scheduled, storage capacity management (container ephemeral storage usage, volume resizing, etc.), influencing scheduling of containers based on storage (data gravity, availability, etc.), and generic operations on storage (snapshotting, etc.). SIG Storage also has a project that provides APIs for object storage support in Kubernetes. In this session, we will deep dive into some projects that SIG Storage is currently working on, provide an update on the current status, and discuss what might be coming in the future.
