Kubernetes与AI的融合

为什么选择Kubernetes进行AI部署？

Kubernetes作为容器编排平台，在AI领域具有显著优势：

1. 弹性伸缩：根据训练任务负载自动调整资源
2. 资源管理：精确控制GPU、CPU等硬件资源分配
3. 高可用性：确保模型服务的持续可用性
4. 多租户支持：隔离不同团队的AI工作负载
5. 自动化运维：减少人工干预，提高效率

云原生AI平台的核心组件

现代云原生AI平台通常包含以下核心组件：

• 模型训练引擎：负责执行机器学习任务
• 模型服务网格：提供统一的模型推理接口
• 数据管理平台：处理训练数据和特征工程
• 实验管理工具：跟踪和比较不同模型版本
• 监控告警系统：实时监控AI工作负载状态
