Dragonfly V2.5.0 - Intro, Updates, Data Distribution in AI Infrastructure - Wenbo Qi & Chenyu Zhang

Dragonfly provides efficient, stable, and secure file distribution and image acceleration using P2P technology within cloud-native architectures. This talk will briefly introduce Dragonfly and highlight the features of its latest version. Key updates include enhanced security and new functionalities tailored for more efficient and robust model distribution. We will also demonstrate how Dragonfly preheats and distributes AI models (packaged as OCI Artifacts) to read-only volumes in Kubernetes, enabling faster deployments. Additionally, we will introduce P2P-based state snapshot and restore capabilities in AI agent scenarios.
