As more and more companies turn to AI / ML / DL to unlock insight, AI has become this mythical word that adds unnecessary barriers to new adaptors. Oftentimes it was regarded as luxury for those big tech companies only – this should not be the case.

Alluxio foresaw the need for agility when accessing data across silos separated from compute engines like Spark, Presto, Tensorflow and PyTorch. Embracing the separation of storage from compute, the Alluxio data orchestration platform simplifies adoption of the data lake and data mesh paradigm for analytics and AI/ML. In this talk, Bin Fan will share observations to help identify ways to use the platform to meet the needs of your data environment and workloads.

Shawn Sun from Alluxio will present the journey of using Alluxio as the storage system for Kubernetes through Container Storage Interface (CSI) plugin and Alluxio CSI driver. This talk will cover the challenges we are facing with traditional setup in the AI/ML training jobs, and how Alluxio CSI driver manages to address them. It will also talk about a recent change to the driver that made it more sturdy and robust.

With machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications becoming more business-critical, organizations are in the race to advance their AI/ML capabilities. To realize the full potential of AI/ML, having the right underlying machine learning platform is a prerequisite.
This article will discuss a new solution to orchestrating data for end-to-end machine learning pipelines that addresses the above questions. I will outline common challenges and pitfalls, followed by proposing a new technique, data orchestration, to optimize the data pipeline for machine learning.
Data platform teams are increasingly challenged with accessing multiple data stores that are separated from compute engines, such as Spark, Presto, TensorFlow or PyTorch. Whether your data is distributed across multiple datacenters and/or clouds, a successful heterogeneous data platform requires efficient data access. Alluxio enables you to embrace the separation of storage from compute and use Alluxio data orchestration to simplify adoption of the data lake and data mesh paradigms for analytics and AI/ML workloads.

To provide model training with the best experience, Tencent has implemented a 1000-node Alluxio cluster and designed a scalable, robust, and performant architecture to speed up Ceph storage for game AI training. This blog will give you insight into how Alluxio has been implemented and optimized at Tencent.
