Keynote: Optimizing AI Workload Scheduling: Bilibili's Journey To an Efficient Cloud Native AI Platform - Long Xu, Bilibili & Kevin Wang, Huawei

Wednesday June 11, 2025 09:12 - 09:22 HKT

Level 16 | Grand Ballroom I

As China's leading video platform, Bilibili faces 4 key challenges in multi-cluster AI workloads management:
1. Workload Diversity: Training/inference/video processing workloads have different scheduling requirements.
2. Cross-Cluster Complexity: Managing workloads across multiple Kubernetes clusters in expanding IDCs with SLAs.
3. Performance Demands: Minimal startup latency and best scheduling efficiency for short-running tasks e.g. video processing.
4. Efficiency-QoS Balance: maximizing resource utilization while ensuring priority workload stability.

This talk will share experiences and delve specific optimization techniques:
1. Leveraging and optimizing CNCF projects such as Karmada and Volcano to build a unified, high-performance AI workload scheduling platform.
2. Integrating technologies such as KubeRay to schedule various AI online and offline workloads.
3. Maximizing resource efficiency through online and offline hybrid scheduling, tidal scheduling and other technologies.

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: Who Owns Your Pod? Observing and Blocking Unwanted Behavior at eBay With eBPF - Jianlin Lv, eBay & Liyi Huang, Isovalent at Cisco

Wednesday June 11, 2025 09:36 - 09:46 HKT

Level 16 | Grand Ballroom I

Kubernetes admins often struggle to understand pod activities, both for regular pods and those with various privileges. This session explores two use cases that highlight why Tetragon, an eBPF-based observability and enforcement tool, for pod security:
1.Replacing Auditbeat with Tetragon: Learn how Auditbeat rules mapped to Tetragon tracing policies, identifying functionality gaps, and how eBay contributed back to the community
2.Auditing Container Process Permissions: See how Tetragon helped analyze pod behavior and determine if applications could migrate to more restrictive pod security policies, ensuring adherence to the principle of least privilege
We also cover deployment challenges, such as integrating with SIEM platforms, resource utilization, and implementing runtime enforcement for unwanted pod behavior. This talk provides practical insights into using Tetragon for observability, policy refinement, and improving overall pod security posture in Kubernetes environments.

Keynote: How We Save $900 per Day with Self-Hosted AI: Building Scalable Local LLM Infrastructure - Vivian Hu, Product Manager, Second State & Lv Yi, CTO, 5miles

Wednesday June 11, 2025 09:48 - 09:58 HKT

Level 16 | Grand Ballroom I

While SaaS AI providers like OpenAI offer convenient LLM services, they come with significant drawbacks: high costs, lack of customization, lack of privacy, and usage limitations that can throttle high-volume applications.

This presentation shows how a leading e-commerce web site deployed a highly customized suite of LLM applications on private cloud infra, reducing costs by 90% while maintaining complete control over scalability and quality of service. We'll discuss the technology stack for orchestrating inference workloads on cloud GPUs, and explore practical strategies for building stable, scalable, high-performance AI apps on your own private cloud infra.

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.
