TAG Contributor Strategy: Beyond the Checkbox: Humanizing Accessibility | Project Lightning Talk
Tuesday November 12, 2024 9:24am - 9:29am MST
Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom BCD
Accessibility is often an afterthought, a checklist item rather than a fundamental right. That is especially true for people who have never met a person with a disability. While recognized as important, accessibility is still an abstract concept. This talk challenges that perception by sharing personal stories and practical insights, putting a human face to accessibility. This CNCF Deaf and Hard of Hearing WG talk aims to bridge the gap and foster empathy. Discover how to shift from mere compliance to empathy, building a truly inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and belonged. Attendees will leave inspired to become accessibility advocates in their own communities.

Open Cluster Management: Scheduling AI Workload Among Multiple Clusters | Project Lightning Talk
Tuesday November 12, 2024 11:52am - 11:57am MST
Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom BCD
Open Cluster Management (OCM) addresses the challenges of managing multiple Kubernetes distributions, providing open APIs for cluster registration, workload distribution, dynamic placement of policies, and more. The placement concept allows dynamic selection of clusters, enabling users to replicate Kubernetes resources or run advanced workloads across member clusters. For instance, as an application developer, I can deploy workloads to clusters with the most available memory and CPU. With the rise of AI technology, there's an increasing need to schedule AI workloads based on GPU/TPU resources. In this talk, we will demonstrate how to utilize the extensible placement scheduling mechanism and a GPU/TPU resource collector addon. Using an addon template, this setup can provide an AddonPlacementScore, facilitating placement decisions based on GPU/TPU resources. This approach enables OCM API consumers to intelligently schedule AI workloads to the most optimal clusters.

KubeSlice: Migrate Kubernetes Services With Confidence! | Project Lightning Talk
Tuesday November 12, 2024 11:59am - 12:04pm MST
Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom BCD
SREs have been constantly asked to look for solutions to help them migrate K8S services from one Cloud cluster to another Cloud cluster while continuing to provide secure access to managed Cloud services left behind in the original Cloud.

The K8S services securely access these managed services using private endpoint FQDN. When SREs are asked to move the K8S services to a different Cloud cluster they hit a roadblock - there is no easy solution to provide private endpoint FQDN access to a managed service from a remote Cloud cluster.

CNCF sandbox project KubeSlice solves this use case in an elegant way.

KubeSlice enables SREs to create a Slice across clusters and slice overlay network connects services in the clusters. An external services gateway on the Slice in the original Cloud cluster will provide access to managed services via alias service FQDN import. Services in other clusters can reach the cloud service via the same private endpoint FQDN resolved by the Slice DNS .

Eraser: Cleaning Up Vulnerable Images from Kubernetes Nodes | Project Lightning Talk
Tuesday November 12, 2024 12:13pm - 12:18pm MST
Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom BCD
Supply chain security is an increasingly important issue in cloud-native computing. It is common for pipelines to build and push images to the cluster, but uncommon for those images to be removed from a node’s local store once a CVE has been disclosed. Kubernetes has no built-in solution to this problem: its garbage collection only responds to disk pressure. As images become outdated, they present a risk as users may run a vulnerable container. Eraser, a CNCF sandbox project, is an open source solution that automates the scanning and removal of non-running images.
What distinguishes Eraser is that it gives more control over removal: the developer decides what gets removed and when. By default, Eraser uses Trivy to scan images based on a given threshold of vulnerability. Images can also be removed based on custom logic, including support for using different scanners.
The talk will begin with an overview of Eraser and discuss new features added to the project.

Copa: Project Copacetic - Directly Patch Container Image Vulnerabilities | Project Lightning Talk
Tuesday November 12, 2024 2:50pm - 2:55pm MST
Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom BCD
Maintaining secure container images and addressing new vulnerabilities quickly is a major challenge. To patch images, users face two options: wait for third-party authors to release updates, which can take weeks, or perform a full image rebuild, a time and resource-intensive process.
Project Copacetic (Copa) enhances the image patching process, reducing turnaround time and complexity. It integrates easily into existing build infrastructure, giving users greater control over their patching timeline and reducing costs.
Copa scans container images using tools like Trivy to generate a vulnerability report and parses the report for necessary OS-level package updates. It applies these updates to the target image using Buildkit (Docker’s default builder) to create a new patch layer on the original image. Copa can even patch distroless images by leveraging external tooling.
The talk will overview Copa, highlighting new features like scanner plugins and omitting reports to update all packages.

Tuesday November 12, 2024 3:32pm - 3:37pm MST
Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom BCD
Along with the Kubernetes community's corraling behind the usescases of generative AI comes a slew of implementation hurdles to overcome. One such hurdle is the problem of moving around bulky models. While many methods exist today, the SIG-Node and WG-Serving community sought to find a Kubernetes native approach. What better way than utilizing a foundational part of Kubernetes: the OCI distribution spec.

In this talk, we will discuss the process of designing KEP-4639, the status of the feature, and go through some real world use-cases for using OCI distribution methods we know, love and rely-upon to move AI models to your production servers.

Spiderpool: DRA Helps Allocate RDMA Devices With GPU Affinity For AI Workload | Project Lightning Talk
Tuesday November 12, 2024 3:46pm - 3:51pm MST
Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom BCD
Currently, the CNI barely meets some increasingly prominent network demands. Especially AI workloads requiring network cards in buck, the node scheduling could not simultaneously fullfill requirements for the macvlan master interface, subnet availability, and RDMA resources. Additionally, the physical affinity between the allocated network cards and GPU is not guaranteed to achieve high-performance transfers such as GPUDirectRDMA. Therefore, many end users complain and have to write complex network configurations in yaml and simply insert all network interfaces for pods to ensure device affinity, which is rigid.
Based on the practice requirements of popular tail-optimized AI network topology, in latest version, Spiderpool introduces DRA to uniformly declare various network configurations, schedule AI workloads to proper nodes, and automatically allocate network interfaces, IP addresses, and RDMA devices with GPU affinity on demand. This greatly enhances the flexibility in AI clusters.
