Kubernetes for AI Engineers
Deploy, Scale, and Orchestrate LLM Workloads in Production
Artificial Intelligence is evolving fast-and running models locally is no longer enough. Modern AI systems must be scalable, GPU-optimized, cloud-native, secure, and production-ready. That's where Kubernetes becomes essential.
Kubernetes for AI Engineers is a practical, production-focused guide for AI engineers, MLOps professionals, DevOps teams, platform engineers, and developers building modern LLM infrastructure.
Unlike generic Kubernetes books focused on traditional applications, this book is built specifically for AI workloads. You'll learn how to deploy, manage, optimize, and scale large language models (LLMs), GPU inference systems, vector databases, and AI pipelines using Kubernetes in real-world environments.
From Docker containers to enterprise-grade orchestration, this book bridges the gap between experimentation and production AI deployment.
Inside This Book, You'll Learn How To:
- Understand Kubernetes fundamentals for AI workloads
- Deploy and orchestrate containerized LLM applications
- Configure GPU node pools for high-performance inference
- Scale AI infrastructure with Kubernetes clusters
- Use Helm for model serving and deployment
- Implement HPA and KEDA autoscaling for inference workloads
- Deploy vector databases and RAG systems
- Build Kubeflow pipelines for AI workflow automation
- Secure AI clusters using RBAC, Secrets, and policies
- Monitor AI systems with Prometheus and Grafana
- Optimize GPU scheduling, memory usage, and performance
- Design multi-cluster and hybrid AI architectures
- Troubleshoot production AI deployments and networking issues
