iFLYTEK Wins CNCF End User Case Study Contest for Scalable AI Infrastructure Breakthroughs with Volcano
Company to present large-scale Kubernetes model training success at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China 2025 HONG KONG, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, today announced iFLYTEK as the winner of the CNCF End User Case Study Contest. Selected for its impactful implementation of Volcano, iFLYTEK will present its success scaling large AI model training at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China 2025, 10–11 June in Hong Kong. iFLYTEK, a Chinese tech firm focused on speech and language AI, faced scaling issues as its workloads grew. Inefficient scheduling left GPUs underused, workflows became harder to manage, and teams competed for resources. These challenges slowed progress and strained infrastructure. With Volcano, iFLYTEK adopted elastic scheduling, DAG-based workflows, and multi-tenant isolation, resulting in simplified operations and improved resource usage. "Before Volcano, coordinating training under large-scale GPU clusters across teams meant constant firefighting, from resource bottlenecks and job failures to debugging tangled training pipelines," said DongJiang, senior platform architect, iFLYTEK. "Volcano gave us the flexibility and control to scale AI training reliably and efficiently. We're honored to have our work recognized by CNCF, and we're excited to share our journey with the broader community at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China." Volcano is a cloud native batch system built on Kubernetes, designed for high-performance workloads such as AI/ML training, big data processing, and scientific computing.

Accepted into the CNCF Sandbox in 2020 and promoted to Incubating maturity level in 2022, Volcano has become a foundational tool for organizations running compute-intensive workloads. As AI demand increased, iFLYTEK turned to Volcano to support the growing complexity and scale of their training infrastructure. The engineering team was looking for a way to more efficiently allocate resources, manage complex multi-stage training workflows, and minimize job disruptions; all while ensuring fair access for different teams. With Volcano, they are now able to streamline operations, better utilize GPUs, and stabilize long-running jobs: 40% increase in GPU utilization, cutting infrastructure costs and reducing idle compute. 70% faster recovery from job failures, ensuring uninterrupted training processes. 50% acceleration in hyperparameter search, enabling faster iteration and innovation. "iFLYTEK's case study shows how open source can solve complex, high-stakes challenges at scale," said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of CNCF. "By using Volcano to boost GPU efficiency and streamline training workflows, they've cut costs, sped up development, and built a more reliable AI platform on top of Kubernetes, which is essential for any organization striving to lead in AI." As AI workloads grow more complex and resource-intensive, iFLYTEK's experience shows how cloud native tools like Volcano can help teams simplify operations and improve scalability. Their upcoming KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China presentation will share practical insights on managing distributed training more effectively in Kubernetes environments.

American Airlines Is Giving Onboard Service a Major Upgrade
American Airlines Is Giving Onboard Service a Major Upgrade originally appeared on Parade. Attention all traveling foodies: American Airlines is rolling out a deliciously major upgrade. The airline is celebrating some of its popular summer travel destinations with a new European-inspired in-flight dining menu beginning June 11 for customers flying in Flagship Business, a Flagship Suite Preferred seat, or a Flagship Suite seat on select European routes. Routes that will feature the menu include Paris (CDG) and Nice (NCE), France; Rome (FCO), Venice (VCE), Naples (NAP), and Milan (MXP), Italy; Barcelona (BCN) and Madrid (MAD), Spain; Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC), Germany; London (LHR) and Edinburgh (EDI), United Kingdom; and Dublin (DUB), Ireland. The menu items inspired by France are ratatouille and a porcini short rib paired with polenta and blue cheese, while the Italian-inspired menu features an herbed short rib with pea risotto and pan-seared halibut with fingerling potatoes. Would it be a German menu without schnitzel and spaetzle? American Airlines isn't taking that risk, adding both to the menu with potatoes and blistered tomatoes accompanying the schnitzel, and grilled zucchini, cremini mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes joining the spaetzle. The theme continues with the Spain-inspired menu items, going coastal with a mar y mar paella and a seared sea bass served with squid ink rice, while the U.K. is represented with mustard-crumb lamb served with turnips, peas and baby carrots, and a peppercorn short rib with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. That's not the only change being implemented, as the airline is now giving customers more time to make their pre-order selections by adjusting the pre-order meal window to 20 hours before departure, giving them four additional hours than they currently have to select their in-flight meal. Next: American Airlines Is Giving Onboard Service a Major Upgrade first appeared on Parade on Jun 9, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 9, 2025, where it first appeared.
