Ksug.ai x AWS Pioneer Forum - Al/ML on EKS

Hear how Nearmap, Canva and Leonardo.ai actually run AI workloads on Kubernetes at scale, practical lessons from engineers doing it daily.

Three engineers from Nearmap, Canva, and Leonardo.ai will walk through how they're running AI inference and training at scale on Kubernetes, covering everything from managing GPU workloads to cost optimisation with tools like Karpenter. This is the rare meetup where you get specific technical decisions rather than marketing slides, straight from the people handling production systems. The second half is networking with AWS technical staff and other engineers solving similar problems, which tends to surface the practical workarounds and gotchas that don't make it into documentation. Useful if you're running or planning container infrastructure for ML workloads, or curious how established Australian tech companies actually approach this.
