CNCF-hosted Co-located Events Europe 2025

All you need to run your application on a supercomputer is to target a specific node on your local kubernetes cluster. If you are really an expert and want to play with MPI capabilities of a SLURM batch system at a remote HPC center, you just have to pass your job parameters in the pod annotations.

This is possible today, and at INFN we are proposing a community ecosystem to streamline the adoption of the Virtual Kubelet technology. From beefy machines in your basement to batch systems and PaaS/CaaS services, interLink provides a common and cloud-native interface to make kubernetes pods running where kubernetes is not an option.

We'll be presenting how this is possible and how the first real scientific use cases are already running their payloads at EuroHPC centers. We'll be demoing ML training and GenAI frameworks running seamlessly on Leonardo and Vega supercomputers, everything on a single kubernetes cluster.
