GPUs in Kubernetes for AI Workloads
Today we dive into running AI models on Kubernetes with GPU support. Learn how to manage GPUs in Kubernetes clusters, create GPU nodes, and optimize resource usage without breaking the bank. We'll walk you through setting up a Google Cloud Kubernetes cluster (the same logic should apply to other Cloud providers), deploying AI models like Ollama's Llama2, and handling GPU partitioning. Watch now to master GPU-based AI workloads in Kubernetes!

KEP of the Week
KEP-4815: DRA: Add support for partitionable devices
One of the original use cases of DRA was to dynamically create and allocate partitions of a full GPU device on demand. As DRA evolved into “structured parameters” this ability to dynamically partition devices has been lost. This KEP proposes introducing the ability for “structured parameters” DRA to allocate both full devices and fixed-size partitions of full devices (across multiple dimensions). This is planned to be done by introducing a new type called PartitionableDevice which would have all the same fields as BasicDevice plus two new fields Includes and ConsumesCapacityFrom. With these new fields, the scheduler has everything it needs to support the dynamic allocation of both full devices and their fixed-size partitions.
This KEP is aiming for alpha in the ongoing v1.32 release cycle.
Other Merges
Deleted UDP endpoint detection is fixed
Allow to filter pods using labels on barrierOp in scheduler_perf and while collecting metrics
Moved InMemoryResponseWriter into own package
Warning about the disablement of internal cloud providers, when setting a value other than external for the --cloud-provider flag

Test added: covers cronjob-scheduled-timestamp
Bookmark event: new annotation kubernetes.io/initial-events-list-blueprint added and send all items in watchCache store
Test added: unintended changes to dynamic client response handling
Fixed: nil-compare rule and error-nil rules from testifylint in k8s.io/kubernetes
DRA Scheduler: improved queue hint unit test & fixed queuing hint support
Checks added: whether the peer URL for the added etcd member already exists
Improvement: Node QueueHint in the NodeResource Fit plugin
Filtered informers tests added for CRD field selectors
Command line flags --healthz-port and --metrics-port removed
Reimplementation of merge functionality from mergo
Support added: nondeterministic encode for the CBOR serializer

Kubernetes is simple: it's just Linux, with Eric Jalal
https://kube.fm/kubernetes-just-linux-eric
Eric Jalal, an independent consultant and Kubernetes developer, explains how Kubernetes is fundamentally built on familiar Linux features. He discusses why understanding Linux is crucial for working with Kubernetes and how this knowledge can simplify your approach to cloud-native technologies.
You will learn:
Why Eric considers Kubernetes to be "just Linux" and how it wraps existing Linux technologies.
The importance of understanding Linux fundamentals (file systems, networking, storage).
How Kubernetes provides a standard and consistent interface for managing Linux-based infrastructure.
Why learning Linux deeply can make Kubernetes adoption an incremental step rather than a giant leap
