Yesterday evening at the Cloud Native Pune meetup at Platform9. A meetup after a long time

Four talks, all dense and worth the time:
1. Maximise GPU efficiency with MIG on Kubernetes by Devendra Kulkarni
-> MIG partitions a single GPU into isolated instances, and the Kubernetes device plugin + GPU operator schedules workloads across them.

2. Your Database Deserves Better: Run It the Kubernetes Way with OpenEverest by Atharva Mhaske (proud of u :))
-> OpenEverest wraps the operator pattern around Postgres, MySQL, and MongoDB so provisioning, scaling, and maintenance stop being manual work.
Good for cost reduction if you are running RDS instances(very costly :/)

3. Architecting Local AI Agents by Ashutosh S. Bhakare
-> ADK for orchestration, Gemma 4 for reasoning, Docker Model Runner for containerized inference. Entire agent stack running locally
[lnkd.in/dvYac4Ec , lnkd.in/dzydk8Tk]

4. Escaping Hypervisor Lock-in: Open-Source VM Migration with vJailbreak by Omkar Deshpande and Sarika Gautam (most interesting for me)
-> Open-source tool to migrate VMs from VMware vSphere to OpenStack or Platform9 Private Cloud Director. Agentless, uses VMware VDDK, supports live and cold migration.
