Talk: GPUs Take Flight — Safety-First Multi-Tenant Platform Engineering with NVIDIA and Red Hat OpenShift AI
Abstract
As organisations race to deploy AI/ML workloads, GPU infrastructure is becoming the most expensive and contested resource in enterprise IT. This lightning talk distils real-world lessons from building a safety-first, multi-tenant GPU platform using NVIDIA hardware and Red Hat OpenShift AI.
What You’ll Learn
- Multi-Tenant GPU Isolation: How to share GPU resources across teams safely, without noisy-neighbour problems
- Platform Engineering Patterns: Building self-service GPU platforms that data scientists actually want to use
- NVIDIA + OpenShift AI Integration: Practical guidance on combining NVIDIA GPUs with Red Hat’s AI/ML platform
- Safety-First Architecture: Guardrails, quotas, and policies that prevent runaway workloads from burning through your GPU budget
- Production Lessons: Battle-tested patterns and pitfalls from running multi-tenant GPU workloads at scale
Why This Talk Matters
GPU compute is the engine behind the AI revolution — but sharing it safely across multiple teams and workloads remains one of the hardest unsolved challenges in platform engineering.
For Platform Engineers
- Build GPU platforms with confidence: Learn isolation patterns that go beyond basic namespace quotas
- Self-service done right: Enable data science teams to provision GPU workloads without compromising cluster stability
- Day-2 operations: Observability, chargeback, and lifecycle management for GPU infrastructure
For AI/ML Teams
- Maximise GPU utilisation: Move from single-tenant waste to efficient multi-tenant sharing
- Faster time to production: Platform engineering patterns that reduce the gap between experimentation and deployment
- Cost transparency: Understand exactly what your GPU workloads cost and how to optimise spend
For Decision Makers
- Enterprise-grade GPU strategy: How Red Hat OpenShift AI and NVIDIA create a production-ready foundation
- Risk mitigation: Safety-first architecture patterns that protect your investment and your SLAs
This isn’t a vendor pitch — it’s an experience report from the trenches of GPU platform engineering. Every recommendation comes from real production workloads.
