This is how modern K8s feels like on AWS.

Here’s a collection of my learnings from AWS re:Invent 2023 Las Vegas — an incredible event for innovators and technologists from all over the world, in a reality bending place which is Las Vegas.

By 2028, more than 95% of global organisations will be running containerised applications in production, which is a significant increase from fewer than 50% in 2023.

My focus was AWS EKS — AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service. I attended a variety of sessions and workshops focused on the latest advancements, emerging tools and solutions for containerised workloads based on Kubernetes:

  • Generative AI
  • Karpenter
  • Security
  • Multi-tenancy

I hope it will become helpful to you!

Generative AI on EKS

Workshop from re:Invent 2023 available for free (thx AWS).

GenAI companies like OpenAI use Kubernetes to train their foundational models like GPT-3, GPT-4, and DALL·E by distributing model training across thousands of powerful GPU-enabled VMs. With frameworks like horovod, and k8s operators like MPI, you can perform distributed deep learning on EKS at scale. You will need to…
