| 29 | 2025-08-07 | Kubecon + CLoudNative Con India 2025 | Bridging Big Data and Machine Learning ecosystems : A cloudNative Approach using Kubeflow | View Slides | Watch Recording | In today's data-driven landscape, bridging the gap between scalable big data systems (e.g., Apache Spark, Iceberg) and machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch) while minimizing data movement and serialization overhead is a critical challenge. Traditional workflows require costly data serialization between storage (e.g., Parquet/Iceberg) and training frameworks, creating bottlenecks leading to inefficient resource utilization in distributed training. This talk explores a cloud-native solution using Kubeflow for end-to-end ML orchestration and Apache Arrow for high-performance data interchange, enabling seamless integration of analytics and ML workflows. |
