Datashim – a framework for declarative management of datasets on Kubernetes – Srikumar Venugopal

Dec 21, 2023

Many ML pipelines depend on shared filesystems for input, output and intermediate data storage. Standards such as CSI have made it possible for applications in Kubernetes to access a variety of data storage systems. Yet, data scientists still have to deal with low-level details of data access in order to execute their pipelines in Kubernetes. Datashim is a framework that manages the lifecycle of a Dataset object, a CustomResourceDefinition that represents a source of data. Datashim takes care of the details of data access while Kubernetes pods can declaratively access the data by referencing a Dataset in their specifications. This talk will describe Datashim and the Dataset object, discuss its use in ML pipelines, and demonstrate how its pluggable architecture is designed for the development of caching, scheduling and governance plugins. Datashim is an incubating project of the Linux Foundation Data and AI Foundation

The many uses of Kubernetes cross cluster migration of persistent data – Ryan Kaw (DoK Day EU 2022)

Multiple clusters exist in most Kubernetes environments today, and number of clusters will increase overtime. The reasons for having multiple Kubernetes clusters are many, for example, overcoming scale limits, reducing complexity, geo separation, redundancy and having separate production, staging, and development environments. Once you have multiple K8S clusters, it can be useful to have the ability to easily move or duplicate workloads across these different clusters. Kubernetes does not have a native method to allow migration or duplication of workloads across clusters.
