Excited to be co-presenting with Rob Koch (Slalom Build) at KubeCon SLC: "AI and ML: Let’s Talk About the Boring (yet Critical!) Operational Side." Hope you can join us! As AI and ML continue to revolutionize tech, it's time to highlight the often-overlooked but critical operations side. With Rob we'll be diving into how we can build resilient, scalable ML applications using Kubernetes and service meshes like Linkerd to handle the heavy lifting—securing workloads, ensuring multitenancy, and simplifying observability. 🗓️ Wednesday, November 13, 2024 ⏰ 12:10 pm - 12:45 pm MST 🔗 https://sched.co/1i7l4 👉 add to your calendar!

KubeCon attendees, don't miss this session on "AI and ML: Let’s Talk About the Boring (yet Critical!) Operational Side," with Rob Koch (Slalom Build) and Milad V. (Epam). As AI and ML become increasingly prevalent, it’s worth looking harder at the operational side of running these applications. We need a lot of compute and access to GPU workloads. We also need to be reliable while providing rock-solid separation between datasets and training processes. And we need great observability in case things go wrong, and must be simple to operate. Let's build our ML applications on top of a service mesh instead of spending resources reimplementing the wheel – or, worse, the flat tire. Join this lively, informative, and entertaining look at how a service mesh can solve real-world issues with ML applications while making it simpler and faster to actually get things done in the world of ML. Rob and Milad will demonstrate how you can use Linkerd together with multiple clusters to develop, debug, and deploy an ML application in Kubernetes (including IPv6 and GPUs), with special attention to multitenancy and scaling.tial. But instead of reinventing solutions, we’ll explore how a service mesh like Linkerd simplifies the process, helping you efficiently build, debug, and scale ML applications in Kubernetes. 🗓️ When: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 🕒 Time: 12:10 pm - 12:45 pm MST 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q02VVZZt0 (add it to your schedule!) #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon #AI #MachineLearning #Kubernetes #ServiceMesh #Linkerd

Today I'm very excited to announce that Buoyant is profitable, growing, and more committed than ever to our customers and to Linkerd. This February, we moved the creation of Linkerd stable release packages to our Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd distribution. We took a lot of flak for this change—mostly from people who had never even used Linkerd. But since then we've doubled our enterprise customer base, doubled our recurring revenue, and become that rare breed in the startup world: a profitable and growing company. We've poured this momentum right back into Linkerd, hiring new maintainers, shipping incredible features, and most importantly, solving new and important problems for new and important customers. Open source is hard. Sustainable open source is even harder. But with this change, Linkerd's survival is not at the mercy of VC funding or internal political battles at mega-corporations. Linkerd survives and grows based on one thing only: our ability to solve real problems for real customers. That mission brings clarity. That mission gives us 100% of our focus. Onwards. https://lnkd.in/gT2ZRTCs
