Speech Title: Autonomous Cloud Optimization for Generative AI & Big Data Analytics: Balancing Performance, Cost, and Scalability
Abstract: The integration of Generative AI and big data analytics offers unprecedented analytical power, yet running foundation models alongside massive data pipelines creates immense compute, memory, and cost challenges. Traditional auto-scaling and static provisioning often fail under these heavy workloads, leaving organizations trapped between exorbitant cloud bills and degraded query performance. This keynote presents autonomous, AI-driven cloud optimization frameworks designed to resolve this tradeoff dynamically. By leveraging predictive resource scheduling, smart query execution, and decoupled cloud architectures, organizations can scale high-throughput analytics and GenAI inference efficiently without compromising system responsiveness or exceeding budget constraints.
1. AI-Driven Cloud FinOps: Automating spot-instance allocation, predictive auto-scaling, and execution planning using machine learning.
2. Decoupled Architecture Efficiency: Optimizing cloud lakehouses (such as Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg) to drastically reduce data scan volumes and egress fees.
3. Cost-Performance Balancing: Maintaining low-latency real-time inference while systematically driving down operational infrastructure overhead.
