GKE Pod Snapshots Cut Startup Lag by 89% While Easing the Load
Google has published benchmarks for GKE Pod snapshots, reporting up to 89% lower startup latency and a 70B model loading in 37 seconds. The feature checkpoints CPU and GPU memory through gVisor into Cloud Storage. Practitioners have asked whether invalidation is the harder problem, since snapshots match on a spec hash, machine series, and kernel and driver versions.
