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.

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:

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. Tula, The Mythical beginning #1
Around AD 1000 Tula took over the
Heritage of Teotihuacan.
During the 12th Century the Toltecs
Migrated and Dispersed, Their
Domination Over.
Statue of Xochipilli, god of flowers, love,
dancing, and poetry.
The Toltec Heritage lived on through the
Reign of the “God-Men,” who ruled their
separate peoples.
For two centuries rivalries arose, each
town claiming to be descended from the
toltecs.
“Aztecs,” “Mexitin,” or “Mexica” : A new
group appeared on the Mexican scene,
already well populated.
3. Tula, The Mythical beginning #2
The term “Aztec,” which was again
adopted in the 18th century, is now
generally used to refer to the peoples
of the Valley of Mexico, starting in the
15th century.
Huitzilopochtli, God of war and the sun,
protected the exodus of the Mexica.
The Mexica roasted and ate the
reptiles.
The Mexica founded Tenochtitlan, the
site of modern Mexico city.
The Mexica chose Acamapichtli, a Lord
from the Surrounding area, as a leader.
Texcoco was the only rival capable of
countering Tepanec power.
Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tacuba
formed a durable bond in 1428: The
Triple Alliance.
4. The Empire Builders
In 1440 the emperor Moctezuma I, forty years old,
came into power.
The end of a time cycle could mean Annihilation.
Moctezuma I decided to start a Perpetual War with
the people of Puebla and Tlaxcala.
Moctezuma I set out to conquer the Tropics.
The Triple alliance’s expansion was accompanied by
a reordering of Mexica and Texcocan society.
Obstacles to true control: Enormous distances and
rudimentary means of communication.
The Power of the Triple Alliance rested on the
image it created for itself.
The empire was far from being subject to the rule
of Tenochtitlan alone. Texcoco, its partner in the
Triple Alliance, was no mere second best.
In 1465 Moctezuma undertook a huge campaign
and managed to conquer Chalco after twenty years
of hostilities. He had been the tireless architect of
Aztec power.
5. The Aztecs, Conquering Heroes #1
In 1472, shortly after Moctezuma’s death,
his great ally, the poet-king
Nezahualcoyotl, died in his turn. The Triple
Alliance, increasingly powerful, passed to a
series of rulers who extended the limits of
the Aztec empire through a combination of
warfare and diplomacy.
A Sovereign worthy of the Empire:
Ahuitzotl, the warrior.
The Aztecs did not invent human sacrifice; It
had been practiced at Teotihuacan a
Millennium earlier.
The Grandiose staging of sacrifices was the
reflection of the Cosmos on Earth.
War, Tribute, and human sacrifice linked the
government to the regeneration of the
cosmos.
Just as Christopher Columbus was landing in
the West Indies, Ahuitzotl reached
Acapulco.
6. The Aztecs, Conquering Heroes #2
While Ahuitzotl was constantly pushing
back the empire’s borders, the Valley
of Mexico prospered.
Nezahualpilli secured the influence of
Texcoco with the same talent as his
father.
The empire’s size began to cause
problems.
In 1503 Moctezuma II succeeded
Ahuitzotl. Under his reign, power
became resolutely asolute, and the
Aztecs unleashed hotilities in a more
systematic fashion.
The Aztecs, more determined than
ever, abandoned the Ideal of the War
of the Flowers
Great Tenochtitlan, center of the
Mexica-Dominated World, focus of
Cosmic order, was ancient Tula reborn.
7. The Clash Of Two Worlds
In the first decade of the 16th century, the emperor
Moctezuma II thought he had become the “master of
the world.” But his sovereignty remained precarious.
Moctezuma was fated to bow before a bearded
white man: Hernan Cortes.
The presence of Spaniards increased the Anxiety
provoked by gloomy prophecies.
In 1519 an expedition left Cuba to Explore the
Coasts of Mexico. At its head was a thirty-three-
year-old Spanish Gentleman, Hernan Cortes.
The Spaniards were received with open arms by the
Aztecs’ enemies.
Cortes was eager to meet the master of the Aztec
world and discover the extent of his wealth and the
reality of his powers.
Whether by Calculation or Resignation, Moctezuma
submitted to his new masters and was betrayed.
The Noche Triste: determined to confront the
Spaniards, the Aztecs fought back.
The Nightmare Siege of Tenochtitlan remains etched
in Aztec memory.
8. From Resistance to Collaboration
Idolatry-Defined as everything that opposes Christianity-became
the monster to be overthrown. Recalcitrant Indians were seen as
Idolaters inspired by the Devil.
The Arrival of Christianity shook the native societies to their very
foundations.
By imposing a uniform system of marriage, the church destroyed
the traditional practice of alliances throughout the empire.
Convinced that Christianity meant the overthrow of their system of
values, the “Idolaters” tried to resist the Spanish Invader.
The ruling class was renewed , and some people took advantage
of the opportunity to denounce the Old Aristocracy.
The fall of Mexico in no way signaled the end of Military
campaigns for the Aztecs, who found employment in the service of
the Crown.
The Church’s education and the Indians’ incredible ability to
assimilate bore unexpected and remarkable fruit.
Throughout the 16th Century, the Indian Masses were Devastated by
the Shock of Conquest: Epidemics, Ruthless Exploitation, and
Shattered values.
Until the 1540s there was arbitrary rule. The conquistadors
plundered, reduced the Indians to slavery, branded them with hot
irons, and worked them to exhaustion; the extortions of the caciques
often rivaled those of the Spaniards.
9. The Aftermath of The Conquest #1
In the 17th century the indigenous
society disintegrated, shattered by
the chaos that struck colonial
Mexico.
Population grew rapidly because
the Spanish immigrants were mostly
male.
At the end of the 18th century and
the beginning of the 19th, the
capital of New Spain, with its
137,000 inhabitants, was the most
populous city in the New World.
Christianity appeared as a Crucial
Stage in the Pueblo’s History.
The Pueblo authorities struggled
desperately against those who
tried to reduce their rights and
interfere with their lives.
10. The Aftermath of The Conquest #2
While the Dignitaries forged a new
community identity, the masses survived in
a colonial society.
After the 17th century the virgin of
Guadalupe constituted a widely popular
cult.
The west set its traps: the hope of easy
gains and pleasures, the lure of alcohol,
the illusion of escaping one’s origins.
In the 19th century the Native Mexicans
faced the first onslaught of the Modern
World.
In the 20th century Mexico, out of concern
for democracy and equality, confirmed
these measures. It made the Indians citizens
like any others and set out to break up
and sell to individuals the communal lands
from which the pueblo derived a good
deal of its resources.
