Composable Systems in Kubernetes - Enabling Dynamic Resource Allocation

Explore the concept of composable systems in Kubernetes through this informative conference talk by Michele Gazzetti from IBM Research Europe - Ireland. Discover the vision of dynamically creating computers with precise resource allocations for specific workloads, including CPU, GPU, and memory. Learn about the challenges of integrating vendor-specific management APIs with platforms like Kubernetes and the importance of developing common methods for managing composable resources. Gain insights into ongoing initiatives such as the Sunfish Management Framework, an open-source project that provides a generic interface for managing composable resource fabrics. Understand the need for bridging the gap between infrastructure management solutions and Kubernetes. Explore a Proof of Concept demonstrating the enablement of composable GPUs in Kubernetes, and grasp the potential impact of composable systems on cloud native computing.
