Google Cloud's pushing GKE beyond container orchestration, framing it as an AI inference engine. Meet the new crew: the Inference Gateway (smart load balancer, talks models and hardware), custom compute classes, and a Dynamic Workload Scheduler that tunes for both speed and spend.
The setup handles GPU and TPU-heavy bursts, plugs into TensorFlow and PyTorch, and keeps its cool during traffic spikes.
Big picture: Kubernetes isnβt just herding containers anymore. It's gunning to be the backbone of scaled AI.
