Efficient image and model caching strategies for AI/ML and generative AI workloads on Amazon EKS

Efficient image and model caching strategies for AI/ML and generative AI workloads on Amazon EKS The role of storage in AI/ML Data loading performance Storage IO for checkpointing Container image caching options Data volumes for Bottlerocket Secondary EBS volumes on AL2023 Using NVMe with RAID0 for Kubelet and Containerd Storage and caching options Amazon S3 S3 Express One Zone Optimizing code for Amazon S3 APIs Increasing per-client throughput Reducing latencies for frequently read data FSx for Lustre Conclusion About the authors When organizations deploy generative AI and machine learning (ML) workloads on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS ), implementing efficient caching strategies becomes crucial for both performance and cost optimization. Storage and caching play major roles throughout the lifecycle of any AI, ML, or generative AI workloads on Amazon EKS.

How to integrate Kairos architecturally into an edge AI platform

Posted on December 29, 2025 by Jordan Karapanagiotis, Software Engineer - Aurea Imaging, Mauro Morales, Staff Engineer & Kairos Maintainer - Spectro Cloud CNCF projects highlighted in this post Remote sensing in agriculture requires complex systems that are able to communicate with various external devices like GPS and cameras, and use machine learning and AI inference to provide insights to the grower regarding their orchard, down to tree and crop-level precision. Aurea Imaging, a Dutch startup company, specializes in remote sensing solutions for agriculture using an embedded device with a powerful GPU-enabled NVIDIA Jetson on board.

Do You Need a Service Mesh? Understanding the Role of CNI vs. Service Mesh

What a CNI Actually Does The CNI’s Core Responsibilities (and Their Limits) What a CNI Does Not Do What is a Service Mesh What a Service Mesh Adds Where CNI and Service Mesh Overlap So When Do You Need a Service Mesh? A Layered Model: Outer Perimeter and Inner Core Calico and Istio: A Combined Approach One Last Thing: Complexity and Tradeoffs Get Started with Calico and Istio Today The world of Kubernetes networking can sometimes be confusing. What’s a CNI? A service mesh? Do I need one? Both? And how do they interact in my cluster? The questions can go on and on.

Kubernetes v1.35: Fine-grained Supplemental Groups Control Graduates to GA

Kubernetes v1.35: Fine-grained Supplemental Groups Control Graduates to GA Motivation: Implicit group memberships defined in /etc/group in the container image What's wrong with it? Fine-grained supplemental groups control in a Pod: supplementaryGroupsPolicy Attached process identity in Pod status Strict policy requires up-to-date container runtimes Getting involved How can I learn more? On behalf of Kubernetes SIG Node, we are pleased to announce the graduation of fine-grained supplemental groups control to General Availability (GA) in Kubernetes v1.35! The new Pod field, supplementalGroupsPolicy , was introduced as an opt-in alpha feature for Kubernetes v1.31, and then had graduated to beta in v1.33. Now, the feature is generally available.

Kyverno at ContribFest: Community, collaboration, and the power of open source in action

Why ContribFest matters for open source Sharing the Kyverno story Three groups, three journeys Learning together, across experience levels Community, sustainability, and the role of supporting organizations Looking ahead to Europe Posted on December 23, 2025 by Cortney Nickerson, CNCF Ambassador and Head of Community at Nirmata CNCF projects highlighted in this post A few weeks ago at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Atlanta, the Kyverno community had the opportunity to participate in ContribFest , one of the most energizing and community-driven initiatives in the cloud-native ecosystem. While ContribFest sessions are listed on the official event calendar, many people across the broader community still don’t realize these experiences exist—let alone understand how impactful they can be for networking, learning, and truly “finding your place” within open source.
