But VMware argues that’s not happening across hybrid clouds, and has taken the lead in an effort to improve matters. That effort, the new Workload Conformance Working Group in the Kubernetes community, aims to establish a shared standard for how workloads run on Kubernetes.
The group’s web page points out, “Certified Kubernetes tests the cluster, and Kubernetes AI Conformance tests whether a cluster can run AI and ML workloads. Nothing comparable exists for the workloads themselves, so cluster operators still check each application by hand before routine maintenance or a Kubernetes upgrade. Every cluster operator ends up repeating the same assessment, and application maintainers get the same questions from each environment they support,” the group asserts.
