Scaling Edge AI with Kubernetes and Namla's Single-Cluster Strategy
In the era of AI-driven decision-making, Edge Computing is revolutionizing industries by enabling real-time insights closer to where data is generated. Applications like Computer Vision, where video streams must be processed locally to detect anomalies or track objects, and Large Language Models (LLMs), which require low-latency responses for tasks such as real-time translation or customer support, exemplify the need for powerful Edge orchestration solutions. However, deploying and managing AI applications at the Edge presents unique challenges. Distributed infrastructures, resource constraints, and the need for secure, reliable connectivity demand robust orchestration solutions. Kubernetes (K8S) was developed and has been used by IT teams for years to efficiently deploy and orchestrate tens or even hundreds of applications in the cloud. Its proven capabilities make it an ideal platform for managing complex workloads, ensuring seamless scalability, and maintaining high availability across distributed environments.
