Keynote: Key Cloud Native Technologies in its Next Decade - Lin Sun, Head of Open Source, Solo.io

Wednesday June 11, 2025 09:24 - 09:34 HKT

Level 16 | Grand Ballroom I

When we started CNCF in 2015 to help advance container technology, Kubernetes was the seeding technology to provide a de facto container orchestration platform for all cloud native applications. Almost a decade later, the community has exploded with 200+ open source projects building on top of cloud native technologies. Looking ahead, what challenges will we have in the next decade? What gaps remain for users and contributors? And how do we evolve to meet the demands of an increasingly complex and connected world?

Let us review some of the key CNCF projects today and lay out some possible avenues for where cloud native is going for the next decade, AI, agentic network, sustainability and beyond.

Keynote: Building a Large Model Inference Platform for Heterogeneous Chinese Chips Based on VLLM - Kante Yin, DaoCloud

Wednesday June 11, 2025 10:00 - 10:10 HKT

Level 16 | Grand Ballroom I

With the growing demand for heterogeneous computing power, Chinese users are gradually adopting domestic GPUs, especially for inference. vLLM, the most popular open-source inference project, has drawn widespread attention but does not support domestic chips.Chinese inference engines are still developing in functionality, performance, and ecosystem. In this session, we’ll introduce how to adapt vLLM to support domestic GPUs,enabling acceleration features like PageAttention, Continuous Batching, and Chunked Prefill. We’ll also cover performance bottleneck analysis and chip operator development to maximize hardware potential.
Additionally, Kubernetes has become the standard for container orchestration and is the preferred platform for inference services. We’ll show how to deploy the adapted vLLM engine on Kubernetes using the open-source llmaz project with a few lines of code, and explore how llmaz handles heterogeneous GPU scheduling and our practices for monitoring and elastic scaling.

Kube Intelligence - A Metric Based Insightful Remediation Recommender - Yash Bhatnagar, Google

Wednesday June 11, 2025 11:45 - 12:15 HKT

Level 19 | Crystal Court I

Not everything can be thought about while designing or developing the applications, and as such lot of the design decisions are based on estimates and potential usage patterns.

More often that not, these estimates differ from reality and introduce inefficiencies in the system across several fronts - and if at all visible, it always much later in the lifecycle when you already have several customers & high footprint.

And hence, unless there is a clear sign of performance degradation or unjustified costs, there is often no incentive to invest time & effort for some unknown gains.

In this session Yash will outline a real world case study about how they went about building an internal platform for handling several aspects of post deployment challenges like

1. rightsizing opportunities,
2. architecture migrations like moving to serverless,
3. finding right maintenance windows, etc

by using a wide range of metrics, and how impactful these minor optimizations turned out to be.

Guardians of Multi-Tenancy: Enhanced Authorization To Prevent Lateral Node Escape - Dahu Kuang & Cheng Gao, Alibaba Cloud

Wednesday June 11, 2025 14:30 - 15:00 HKT

Level 16 | Grand Ballroom I

Maximizing security in multi-tenant clusters while maintaining cost-effectiveness is crucial for enterprise OPS. Most enterprise clusters deploy multiple daemonsets, which are attractive targets for attackers seeking to escape and move laterally, ultimately taking over the entire cluster.

The SIG community has introduced several advanced security features recently, such as CRD Field Selectors, Field and Label Selector Authorization, validating admission policy (VAP), and Structured Authorization Config. These allow users to define more flexible authorization configurations, addressing filtering and authorization needs for CRDs, kubelet, and other resources in multi-tenant environments.

We will share the lessons learned from the node escape incidents and demonstrate how to implement these new features and show how to use the Common Expression Language (CEL) to configure customized policies in Authorization Webhook and VAP, resulting more node-specific restrictions within clusters.

Taming Dependency Chaos for LLM in K8s - Peter Pan, Neko Ayaka & Kebe Liu, DaoCloud

Wednesday June 11, 2025 16:15 - 16:45 HKT

Level 19 | Crystal Court I

AI developer in K8S: either in Jupyter notebook or LLM serving: Python Dependency is always a headache :
- Prepare a set of base Images? The maintenance amounts & efforts will be a nightmare: Since (1) packages in AI world are rapidly version bumping, (2) diff llm codes require diff packages permutation/combination.
- Leave users to `pip install` by themselves ? The resigned waiting blocks productivity and efficiency. You may agree if you did it.
- If on a GPU Cloud, the pkg preparation time may even cost a lot: you rent a GPU but wasted in waiting pip downloading...
- you may choose to D.I.Y: docker-commit your own base-images, but you have to worry about the Dockerfile, registry and additional cloud cost if you don't have local docker env.

----
So we introduce https://github.com/BaizeAI/dataset.

The solution:
1. A CRD to describe the dependency and env.
2. K8S Job to pre-load the packages.
3. PVC to store and mount
4. `conda` to switch from envs
5. share between namespaces
