Kubeflow at Home: AI and Kubernetes outside of Google & Co.

There are always new hot trends in the IT world: yesterday it was all about AI, ML and Data Science – today everything is running in containers. It’s no wonder the two worlds are coming together: it is now possible to get Tensorflow-based AI environments running in a Kubernetes cluster. Possible, but not necessarily easy, as we learned.

Container Technology at IT-DLZ

At OSAD 2021, Matthias Kanzog from IT-DLZ Bayern gave an insight into the container technology used.

“In order to be able to deploy applications faster and more flexibly in the future while ensuring data security, the IT DLZ decided to set up its own container operation.” This is Matthias’ answer to the “crucial question” about agility and flexibility in public authorities. Read more

The Mystery of Container Images Demystified

  1. Basics
  2. Dive into Image
  3. Proof it

„Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.“
Arthur C. Clarke

Containers have been around much longer than Docker and Kubernetes. But these applications made them more well-known and also much more accessible. How you build an image for a container and also how it works at run time has been discussed many times; but what about the state in between? In order to best use and optimize container images in our daily work, we need to understand how they are built. Thus, the following article sheds light on the concept of OCI images.

Docker Alternatives

Docker has started a revolution with its easy access to Linux containers: Containerized applications, microservices, DevOps, GitOps, and Kubernetes are noticeably spreading. But then suddenly it says “Docker support in [kubernetes] is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release”. What does this mean for you and your work with containers? With Kubernetes? For starters, the good news is that you don’t have to change much at all. This blog briefly outlines existing alternatives, categorizes them, and provides a brief example for developers.

A somewhat different OSAD

For 4 years now, the Open Source Automation Days have been our highlight of the year. We are very pleased to see that Munich’s largest vendor-independent open source conference has established itself as an integral part of the annual calendar of events. When we organized a three-day event for over 150 participants for the first time in 2019, it pushed our motivation for OSAD 2020 enormously. So we started planning immediately afterward, found a location, and already booked it… But suddenly, Corona was there!
