Lightning Talk: How to Bring Data Locality to I/O-Intensive Workloads on Kubernetes - Shouwei Chen

Lightning Talk: How to Bring Data Locality to I/O-Intensive Workloads on Kubernetes - Shouwei Chen, Alluxio

As the Kubernetes ecosystem matures, challenges remain when data-intensive applications access data from cloud-native data sources. Traditional approaches to optimizing I/O throughput often involve copying data, which is error-prone, slow, and resource-consuming. In this lightning talk, Shouwei will provide a brief overview of different approaches to emulate or introduce data locality in Kubernetes based on his experience working with open-source projects.
