Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

2. Fact 1
Kalam as a scientist in DRDO
Kalam joined Aeronautical Development Establishment of
Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO)
as a scientist. His first achievement in his career was
designing a small helicopter for the Indian Army, though
he remained unconvinced and dissatisfied with the choice
of his job at DRDO.

4. Fact 3
Kalam was criticized for lackadaisical approach towards
his Presidential post
Kalam was judged for inaction as a President in deciding
the fate of 20 out of the 21 mercy petitions. According to
the Article 72, of the Constitution of India, the President
of India has the power to grant pardon, suspend and
remit death sentences and commute the death sentence
of convicts on death row. But he didn’t apply those
powers on the mercy petitions of the 20 convicts.

5. Fact 4
His harassment at New York airport
The most insulting day for every Indians when former
President APJ Abdul Kalam was twice subjected to
harassment at New York’s JFK Airport by the US security
officers. Dr Kalam was forced to take his jacket and shoes off
for security checking for explosives. Then the 80-year-old
Kalam was in the United States in September to attend a
series of events and the incident took place on September 29
at the time of his returning home from New York. After
taking his seat in the aircraft, officials of the JFK Airport came
inside and asked to check the President once again. Air India
authorities along with all the Indians strongly protested the
heinous act.

6. Fact 5
Kalam the stalwart
Most of us don’t know that Dr. Kalam is an incredible writer
and has written many inspirational books. They are-Wings
of fire [His autobiography], 2020- A Vision for the New
Millennium, Envisioning an Empowered Nation, Ignited
Minds, My Journey, Developments in Fluid Mechanics and
Space Technology, The Luminous Sparks, The Life Tree,
Mission India, Children Ask Kalam, Guiding Souls,
Indomitable Spirit and Inspiring Thoughts. These books are
treasure for every Indians.
www.slideshare.net/barunmohanty/presentations
7. Fact 6
Pokhran-II tests controversy
The controversy that hovered around Kalam’s role as a
nuclear scientist is the lack of reliable and factual
reporting of the yield of Pokhran-II tests. K. Santhanam,
the director of the site test, publicly declared that the
thermonuclear bomb was a “fizzle” test, and criticized
Kalam for issuing the wrong report. But Kalam dismissed
the claims and, a key associate of Pokhran-II, R.
Chidambaram also certify these claims as incorrect.
www.slideshare.net/barunmohanty/presentations
8. Fact 7
Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant issue
Kalam was also disparaged by civil groups over his stand
on the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant, where he
encouraged setting up of the nuclear power plant
without discussing the situation with the local people.
www.slideshare.net/barunmohanty/presentations
9. Fact 8
The Youth Icon
In 2003 and in 2006 he was nominated for the MTV
Youth Icon of the Year award.
www.slideshare.net/barunmohanty/presentations

Part of an inspirational film
I Am Kalam which was released in 2011 is an inspirational
Hindi film. Here Kalam is portrayed as an extremely positive
influence to a poor but bright Rajasthani boy Chhotu, who
renames himself Kalam in honour of his idol.
www.slideshare.net/barunmohanty/presentations
11. Fact 10
The awards and honors
The Government of India has honoured him with
the Padma Bhushanin 1981 and the Padma Vibhushan in
1990 for his work with ISRO and DRDO and his role as a
scientific advisor to the Government. APJ Abdul
Kalam has received India’s highest civilian honour,
the Bharat Ratna, for his immensely precious contribution
to the scientific research and modernization of defense
technology in India.
