Data scientists or platform engineers often face the following challenge when the input data for machine learning jobs are stored in remote storage like NFS or cloud storage like S3. Making direct data access is slow, unstable and expensive; manually duplicating data to the training clusters also introduces large overhead, complicated data curation and often requires engineers to build ETL pipelines.
This talk will guide the audience on how Alluxio can greatly simplify the data preparation phase in with remote and possibly multiple data sources. We will share the lessons and benchmark from Bill Zhao an engineer led in Apple when building a Machine Learning platform using Tensorflow, NFS, DC/OS and Alluxio.
In this online meetup, you will learn about:
- When Alluxio can help for machine learning platform;
- How to setup and create POSIX endpoint for Alluxio service to unify the file system data access to S3, HDFS and Azure blob storage;
- How to run TensorFlow to train models backed by accessing remote input data like access local file system.

Deepseek’s recent announcement of the Fire-flyer File System (3FS) has sparked excitement across the AI infra community, promising a breakthrough in how machine learning models access and process data.
In this webinar, an expert in distributed systems and AI infrastructure will take you inside Deepseek 3FS, the purpose-built file system for handling large files and high-bandwidth workloads. We’ll break down how 3FS optimizes data access and speeds up AI workloads as well as the design tradeoffs made to maximize throughput for AI workloads.
This webinar you’ll learn about how 3FS works under the hood, including:
✅ The system architecture
✅ Core software components
✅ Read/write flows
✅ Data distribution/placement algorithms
✅ Cluster/node management and disaster recovery
Whether you’re an AI researcher, ML engineer, or infrastructure architect, this deep dive will give you the technical insights you need to determine if 3FS is the right solution for you.
