How Booking.com Uses Kubernetes for Machine Learning
Sahil Dua explained how Booking.com was able to scale machine learning (ML) models for recommending destinations and accommodation to their customers using Kubernetes, at the QCon London conference. In particular, he stressed how Kubernetes elasticity and resource starvation avoidance on containers helps them run computationally (and data) intensive, hard to parallelize, machine learning models.
