Kubernetes For AI: The CTO's Guide

Kubernetes began as a tool to help teams keep thousands of microservices running without falling apart. It gave them a way to schedule workloads, recover from failures, and scale services without constant firefighting. Now, AI has brought back the same chaos, only magnified.
