<<< --------------------- >>>

Nowadays we are getting in touch with different kinds of technologies. Especially the AI and Machine Learning market is growing with a velocity that has never been seen before. For all those different challenges we have to face in our daily business there is never this “one size fits it all” solution to everything. Hundreds of tools are available to help us in getting faster, better and more reliable. “Time spent” and “Go-To-Market”
is more important than ever before and therefore we need to optimize our processes and pipelines.

In this talk, we want to share our findings and experiences on building platform services for managing AI and ML-pipelines in an efficient manner. Using container-based technologies like Docker and Kubernetes we can improve the data scientists’ workflows without the need to know what happens in the background. It’s all about automation and self-service, whether it’s in the cloud or built as on-premises infrastructure. Managing data is also a very important yet often underestimated challenge to cover and talk about as this is the asset from which we generate the most value.

Kubeflow is one tool chest on which we focused our work and which we want to demo – showing an AI use case within its usual lifecycle compared to what gets possible when using the right tools at the right spot e.g. auto parameter fine-tuning and event-based workflow management alongside your own Jupyter notebook environment.
