Huge congratulations to the @CoreWeave team for raising $1.1B at $19B valuation to grow its GPU cloud. Read more about CoreWeave here to learn how @KnativeProject helps them. “CoreWeave’s cloud is based on Kubernetes. It uses a Kubernetes extension, Knative, to adjust the amount of hardware automatically in customers’ environments as application demand changes. One of Knative’s flagship features is its so-called scale-to-zero mechanism. Companies often can’t completely shut down their GPU clusters when they’re not actively used, but must rather leave certain components running. Those unused components consume hardware resources and thus incur additional costs. Thanks to Knative, CoreWeave customers can shut down all the GPUs in their clusters when they’re not actively needed. Building scale-to-zero GPU clusters was historically difficult because reactivating graphics cards after shutting them down can take a significant amount of time. That lengthy boot process, in turn, increases hardware costs and creates latency for users. CoreWeave has developed a software tool called Tensorizer to address the challenge.” Just to recap the Knative project was released by Google in July 2018, and it was developed in close partnership with Red Hat, IBM, VMWare, and SAP.
