Babylon 肩负着让地球每个人都享有平价医疗服务的使命。 自2013年在英国创立以来，这家初创企业已经促成了全球上百万次数字咨询。在英国，患者通常要等一到两周才能约到医生。借助 Babylon 的国家医疗服务体系（NHS）服务GP at Hand——其拥有的75,000多名注册患者中——39%可以在30分钟内完成电话预约，89%在6小时内完成预约。 但这仅仅是个开始。“我们尝试将各种技术与我们自己的医学专业知识结合起来，研发自己的产品帮助患者管理、了解自己的健康状况，同时帮助医生提高工作效率，”Babylon AI 基础架构主管 Jérémie Vallée 说。 多款产品都在使用机器学习和人工智能，2019年，研究人员遭遇痛点。“公司有几台服务器，研究人员用这些服务器做了大量 AI 试验和部分模型训练，但我们现在走到了一个节点：公司内部计算能力不足以进行一项试验，” Vallée 说。 Babylon 在2018年已将面向用户的应用程序迁移到了一个 Kubernetes 平台上，“因为这些迁移，我们掌握了很多 Kubernetes 知识，”他补充说道。为了优化我们创建的部分模型，团队转向 Kubeflow，即 Kubernetes 上的一个机器学习工具。“我们想要创建一个 Kubernetes 核心服务器，因此我们部署了 Kuberflow，编排了整个试验，最终圆满成功，”他说。 在试验基础上，Vallée 团队又接受新任务：建立自助平台，帮助 Babylon 的 AI 团队通过扩展提高效率，缩短产品上市的时间。主要需求包括：（1）无论试验规模大小，让研究人员和工程师有能力进行他们需要的计算；（2）按需、集中为团队提供他们工作所需的最佳工具；（3）因为公司正在扩大业务规模，进入不同国家市场，训练平台要靠近管理的数据。 从各方面考虑，Kubernetes…
