In this webinar, we’ll share how confidential computing can bring hardware-level security to your sensitive AI workloads, both on-prem and on the public cloud.

Secure your AI workloads with Confidential VMs

As organisations increasingly look to take advantage of AI technologies, there are several critical considerations that they must contend with, including intellectual property, data security and costs related to computing infrastructure. Private cloud solutions are ideally suited to solving these challenges. Canonical Openstack, for instance, is a great example of a cloud platform that can be used to build and deploy machine learning applications securely and cost-effectively.

Why consider a private cloud for AI?
Private clouds are a handy solution for enterprises when it comes to AI/ML since they deliver many of the key capabilities that organisations report as important, including:
1) Cost optimisation: Private clouds enable businesses to optimise their costs by always running their workloads where it makes more sense from an economic standpoint.
2) Digital sovereignty: Private clouds offer a safe environment for data and applications by ensuring that the organisation owns access and controls the level of sharing amongst the different teams using the cloud.
3) Performance acceleration: Private clouds offer GPU virtualisation and other capabilities to improve performance and therefore project delivery, confidentiality, efficiency and time to setup as required by sophisticated AI/ML workloads. 

Learn more about AI on the private cloud in this webinar:
Join the webinar on 30 April 2024, where Tytus Kurek, OpenStack Product Manager, and Andreea Munteanu, AI Product Manager, will talk more about private clouds for AI projects. The presentation will cover:

Real time kernel: use cases and deployment strategies with Ubuntu

You’ve probably heard of Linux, but maybe you’re not quite sure what it is, what you can do with it, and, more importantly, whether you can trust it to run your next project!

In this webinar, Canonical’s Ijlal Loutfi and Henry Coggill discuss the security of Linux and Ubuntu. We’ll start with the basics of why the operating system is important and how it underpins the integrity of any applications running on top. We will provide background information as to what Linux is, for those who might be unfamiliar with its history, and discuss how open-source software is developed and bundled into distributions.

We will discuss how the open-source ecosystem deals with security vulnerabilities, how they are discovered and fixed, and how end users react to this perpetual dance. Then we will go deeper into the range of security technology built into Ubuntu and what this means for protection against unknown threats. Finally, we will explore how Canonical’s enterprise-grade support delivers a comprehensive platform for secure open-source adoption.

Is Linux secure?

What can PostgreSQL do for AI application?

PostgreSQL is capable of efficiently storing and retrieving large amounts of data, such as training data for your models. Its wide support of the SQL standard, including SQL/MED, makes inspecting and querying that data a breeze. Moreover, PostgreSQL comes with similarity search capabilities, providing convenient index structures (GIST, GIN...) and built-in extensions (fuzzystrmatch, pg_trgm...).

Yet, there is more to PostgreSQL's ecosystem than the database server. There are more than 1000 extensions for PostgreSQL, many of which can be useful for AI developers and users, for example pgvector and PostgresML. 


The Role of PostgreSQL in MLOps

MLOps projects such as Kubeflow rely on relational databases for storing different artefacts, and choosing which relational database to use for MLOps is a common dilemma. We approached a similar topic in our recent webinar “PostgreSQL vs MySQL”, where we explored how, despite looking similar on the surface, the two databases are actually very different. The significant structural differences between databases can have a tremendous influence on the performance of any ML project, so understanding the possible impact is critical for both the enterprises who use these platforms and the engineers who develop them.


So how do we use PostgreSQL for machine learning?

Join the live discussion to learn more about using PostgreSQL for AI projects. The webinar will cover:
- An overview of the PostgreSQL ecosystem for AI projects
- Benefits of PostgreSQL for AI projects
- Use cases where PostgreSQL should be used for AI projects
