I keep seeing Kubernetes appear on HackerNews. Is there a quick thing I can read to explain why everyone's so excited about? I know it's container orchestration, but I'm not sure what people are using it for or what pain point it is revealing.
Unprofitable for ETH mining maybe, but it seems like a natural fit to rent time on it to deep learning people with slow training models. Although that could still be unprofitable after the cost of electricity, I guess it's a question of market size/demand. A lot of deep learning is already at big infrastructure players anyway who wouldn't need the service, leaving academics / smaller companies. But maybe some people would find a reliable, scalable GPU cluster valuable.
Great read, on a smaller scale, I have found nvidia-docker with nvidia-docker-compose to be a great solution for deploying docker containers on AWS P2 machines with 8 GPUs.
"1060GTX at home but on consumer grade Intel NUC"<p>A bit OT, but I'd like to see how this works...<p>Ah, very cool - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyY-lTmgb8c" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyY-lTmgb8c</a>
Is the author of this working on official support or just testing? I know there's a gpu roadmap for k8s, but I can't tell from this blog if this was part of it.
