Bridging Big Data and Machine Learning Ecosystems: A Cloud Native Approach Using Kubeflow - Johnu George, Nutanix & Akshay Chitneni, Apple

Thursday August 7, 2025 4:30pm - 5:00pm IST

MRG 1-6

In today's data-driven landscape, bridging the gap between scalable big data systems (e.g., Apache Spark, Iceberg) and machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch) while minimizing data movement and serialization overhead is a critical challenge. Traditional workflows require costly data serialization between storage (e.g., Parquet/Iceberg) and training frameworks, creating bottlenecks leading to inefficient resource utilization in distributed training. This talk explores a cloud-native solution using Kubeflow for end-to-end ML orchestration and Apache Arrow for high-performance data interchange, enabling seamless integration of analytics and ML workflows.
