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.

BUOY LANGUAGE SKILLS
Written by: Staff and Wire Reports
eSchool June 2014 at: www.eSchoolNews.com
2. LEARNING DIFFERENT
LANGUAGES
This article gives information about English speaking students learning
a second language; called second language learners.
• This will benefit our English Language Learners as well.
There are three similar but different software programs used by three
different school districts.
• Mango Language-Detroit Public Schools
• Rosetta Stone- Arkansas Little Rock School
• Middlebury Interactive Languages-Provo eSchool in Utah
3. SECOND LANGUAGE SKILLS
Learning a second language gives students a boost above their peers.
Using technology helps students understand and discover new
language abilities.
Those who are native English speakers have a better chance of finding
a job if they know a second language.
Technology allows a way for students to learn a different language not
supported by teachers.
4. ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
Those who are English Language Learners often have a learning gap
with language arts.
• After reading this article there is a software that helps address this
learning gap.
• An English Language Learner may be on track with grades but their
comprehension is not there because of the language barrier.
5. Mango Language is the software
used in the Detroit Public School
System.
Mango is available online through
their library portal and mobile apps.
Builds conversational skills,
deeper level of understanding,
contains course placement tests.
MANGO LANGUAGE
6. Keeps track of progress an
gives real-time information on
students.
• Where they are
• What help they might need.
Gets students using technology
• Can use at home with family
• Builds community relations

skills
• 32% increase in vocabulary
skills
ROSETTA STONE
Learning a new language will
reveal new paths to take.
9. Middlebury Interactive Languages are

Utah.
The program is linked to Middlebury
College and its language schools.

MIDDLEBURY INTERACTIVE
LANGUAGES
This program is available to third
graders all the way up to Seniors.
275 students out of 1100 students
take advantage of learning a second
language
• No one in this eSchool is
required to take a second
language.
10. Teachers evaluate students’
engagement and progress by
• Recording real interaction
between native speakers in
different countries with
students.
The students get to use
authentic materials for their
language instruction.
MIDDLEBURY INTERACTIVE
LANGUAGES
Megan Dunningan, coordinator
for eSchool, states, “gives students
a wider variety of options to
choose from; not every school can
have a teacher who’s certified in
Chinese.” eSchool, June 2014
11. 21ST CENTURY LEARNING
Students are learning from real people in different cultures. They are
coming into the classroom. The students literally have the world at their
fingertips.
The engagement is high because the way of delivering content is
changing.
Technology is changing the way children learn in the 21st century.
They are writing the text book instead of reading it.
12. 21ST CENTURY LEARNING
These students have so many advantages to learning; failure is not an
option for these kids.
As an educator, my delivery method of teaching is changing for the better. I
will be letting my students discover content through more technology rather
than standing in front of them and telling them.
Bring the world to them and let them realize what it means to expand their
minds. Books can only take you so far, but when you can show them, actually
show them, the world, they will never be the same.
