This is a multi-series blog on GPUs, how they intersect with Kubernetes and containers. In this blog, we will discuss how CPUs and GPUs are architecturally similar and different. We will also review when it is ideal to use a CPU vs a GPU. Background Historically, the most important infrastructure decision for applications involved selecting from a combination of processors (CPU) and memory (RAM). The landscape has changed dramatically since then with GPUs becoming equally important for modern applications. Graphics Processing Unit (aka GPUs) were originally designed to create images for compu ..read more

Amazon’s Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) makes it easy to provision and operate cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters using AWS. It’s a managed service that automates the process of creating a control plane and connecting AWS EC2 instances that act as cluster nodes. Using EKS can drastically reduce a Kubernetes admin’s workload but it’s still vital to correctly optimize your clusters for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. EKS users aren’t immune to common Kubernetes problems including resource over-provisioning, complicated app deployment processes, and unpredictable costs. In this ar ..read more
