What is Kubernetes AI conformance?

CNCF program certifying clusters handle AI/ML workloads uniformly—GPUs, inference, scaling—across clouds.

Does Kubernetes AI conformance work on all cloud providers?

Early yes from big three, Nvidia, Red Hat, OVHcloud. More coming; tests accelerator access first.

When will AI inference dominate compute?

By 2026: 2/3 inference vs 1/3 training. 93GW total by 2030.

93 Gigawatts of AI Inference Compute by 2030: Kubernetes Steps Up to Standardize It All

By decade's end, AI inference will guzzle 93 gigawatts of power—more than all other compute combined. Kubernetes AI conformance is the cloud-native fix making it portable and predictable.
