This document provides a timeline history of computers from ancient calculating devices like the abacus to modern personal computers and networks. It outlines the major eras and developments including:
1) The early pre-electronic era with mechanical calculating devices.
2) The first electronic digital computers in the 1940s-1950s that filled entire rooms and used vacuum tubes.
3) The development of programming languages and transistor-based "second generation" computers in the 1950s-1960s that began the transition to modern computers.
4) The rise of personal computers and computer networks in the 1970s-1990s driven by innovations like the microprocessor.
5) Continued advances to the present day including

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.
