Tackling GPU Shortages and High Costs by Harnessing Hybrid Kubernetes Clusters

Learn how to address GPU resource challenges and cost concerns through hybrid Kubernetes clusters in this conference talk from CNCF. Explore practical solutions for integrating affordable third-party GPU resources with existing cloud provider services using K3s and P2P VPN with Wireguard protocol. Discover an architecture that successfully combines multiple GPU sources from various geographical locations, resulting in virtually unlimited on-demand GPU resources while achieving 2x-4x cost reduction. Gain insights into the architecture, advantages, disadvantages, requirements, and limitations of pure hybrid Kubernetes clusters for GPU management, along with valuable lessons learned from building and managing these systems in a startup environment focused on cloud infrastructure.
