Description

Managing massive deployments of accelerators for AI and high performance computing (HPC) workloads can be complex. This talk dives into running AI-optimized Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters that streamline infrastructure provisioning, workload orchestration, and ongoing operations for tens of thousands of accelerators.
