Accelerating analytics & AI in Kubernetes with Alluxio Open Source Data Orchestration

Kubernetes is widely used across enterprises to orchestrate computation. While Kubernetes helps improve flexibility and portability for computation in public/hybrid cloud environments across infrastructure providers, running data-intensive workloads on it can be challenging.

For data-driven workloads in disaggregated stacks, there’s no native data access layer within a Kubernetes cluster. For query engines and machine learning frameworks that are deployed within a Kubernetes cluster, any critical data sitting outside the cluster breaks locality. Alluxio can help.
