AI and ML On Kubernetes For The Absolute Beginner with Michael Levan Distinguished Engineer @Codiac

Description:
AI has been a popular topic, but there haven't been a lot of true engineering explanations behind it all. For example, what systems can it run on, and more importantly, how can it run efficiently? What's the engineering behind AI, GenAI, ML, and LLM's that make it all "tick"?
In this session, you will learn from an engineering perspective how AI and ML work under the hood on Kubernetes.

You'll learn about:
- Kubeflow
- How to train Models on Kubeflow
- Why Kubernetes is the perfect AI/ML platform
- How organizations save money by training models on AI/ML
- Installation setups
and perhaps most importantly, how it all ties into Kubernetes.
