Securing AI Pipelines: Real-World Attacks on Kubernetes-Based AI Infrastructure - Abhinav Sharma, KodeKloud
Thursday August 28, 2025 11:15 - 11:40 CEST
G001-002
When an ML engineer deploys a Stable Diffusion model to Kubernetes, they unwittingly create an attack surface unlike anything traditional security teams have encountered. I discovered this firsthand after our "perfectly secured" AI cluster was compromised.

Unlocking Scalable Distributed Training With Arrow Data Cache on Kubernetes - Ricardo Aravena, Snowflake & Andrey Velichkevich, Apple
Thursday August 28, 2025 11:50 - 12:15 CEST
G001-002
As the scale of AI models and training datasets grows, so does the complexity of efficiently feeding data into GPU-accelerated training workloads. Traditional I/O stacks are becoming a bottleneck—especially in cloud native environments—where elasticity and performance must go hand in hand. This talk introduces an open-source, Arrow-based data cache for distributed training workloads on Kubernetes and tabular datasets stored as Apache Iceberg tables.

From Hours To Milliseconds: Scaling AI Inference 10x With Serverless on Kubernetes - Anmol Krishan Sachdeva & Paras Mamgain, Google
Thursday August 28, 2025 13:35 - 14:00 CEST
G001-002
Imagine deploying a complex AI model for real-time inference, but facing latency that slows down your application. We've all been there. This talk isn't just about theoretical serverless benefits; it's about real-world performance gains. We'll show you how we slashed inference latency from several seconds to under 100 milliseconds, achieving a 10x improvement in throughput, by harnessing the power of serverless on Kubernetes.

Unlocking How To Train 107B Model Across Multi-Region Heterogeneous Clusters Using K8s - Xiao Zhang, dynamia.ai
Friday August 29, 2025 11:45 - 12:10 CEST
G001-002
As large language models enter the era of hundreds of billions of parameters, the traditional single - cluster LLM training method faces three challenges. First, Difficulty building large homogeneous GPU clusters. Second, there is a physical limit to the scale of AI accelerators in a single cluster. Third, resource fragmentation leads to insufficient resources in a single cluster while there are abundant global resources. multi-domain heterogeneous training technology can effectively address these challenges.

G001-002
Generative AI is moving fast—and if you're responsible for deploying or tuning these models, you're probably feeling the heat. New LLMs, hardware, and training methods are landing constantly. How do you make sense of it all? How do you actually know what’s performant, what’s cost-effective, and what breaks the moment your stack changes?

Race cars are engineered for peak performance, designed to push the limits of speed while maintaining control and stability. Similarly, AI/ML jobs need a high-speed, reliable network fabric to deliver results efficiently. Just like a race car depends on a well-maintained race track to perform at its best, AI/ML jobs rely on network fabrics—such as RoCE and InfiniBand—to ensure fast, reliable communications.
