OpenStack Reimagined: Building a Cloud-Native Infrastructure

Air-gapped or offline networks are an increasingly common security requirement for deployments in regulated or federal environments and sovereign clouds. Today’s hyper-connected infrastructure often makes assumptions about remote systems being online and available, which break in these offline disconnected scenarios. Some of the most common issues revolve around installation packages and security updates not being accessible behind the air gap or firewall boundaries.

Landscape is Canonical’s systems management tool that enables administrators to control, monitor and update Ubuntu systems at scale. Managing assets is a key component of all security & compliance frameworks, and Landscape enables a range of security controls within an Ubuntu deployment. One feature of Landscape that is particularly relevant for air-gapped environments is package and repository mirroring, or the ability to copy packages and updates from an internet server and make them available to clients behind a firewall or air gap.

In this webinar we will cover what air-gapped environments are, why they might be a requirement in various scenarios, and how Landscape can be deployed and used to address the most common problems with distributing software packages and updates behind the air gap.

* Talk about key considerations when building machine learning pipelines
* Learn how to build ML pipelines using Kubeflow
* Give insight of some best practices when using Kubeflow pipelines

More information about the webinar: 

Machine Learning Operations is a new practice that ensures machine learning projects run in an automated and reproducible manner. It is often described as DevOps for machine learning, since it brings together ML development and the operations that are required afterwards to maintain any ML initiative. MLOps has three core components: data pipelines, model pipelines and applications pipelines, which developers are often looking to optimize.

What are ML pipelines?

ML pipelines refer to the pipelines of all three components of the machine learning lifecycle and enable developers to automate ML workloads, streamlining the process of taking models to production. They are a foundational aspect to scaling machine learning projects and running them in a more effective manner.

There are multiple ways to build ML pipelines. Open source tools such as Kubeflow are an easy option, as they have already built the engine to perform such tasks. Kubeflow Pipelines are one of Kubeflow’s components which can be used to build ML pipelines.

Each type of NoSQL database offers unique strengths and is suited to specific types of applications and data requirements, making them versatile tools in modern data management. Many of them are compatible with an open source approach, giving you advantages such as the acceleration of innovation, flexibility, customisation, and community support. There are also innovations in the space where databases can run in a multi-cloud environment. 
However, these features and benefits come with their own set of challenges, and operating database clusters can be difficult. In addition, databases need to be integrated within a stack of technologies, such as the infrastructure it is deployed on and other data and AI tools. Faced with these and other challenges (like unpredictable costs and industry skill gaps), companies are finding it increasingly difficult to achieve operational excellence with an in-house team to manage databases. This is why they turn to managed service providers (MSPs).

In this webinar, Canonical product managers Michelle Tabirao (NoSQL Databases) and Adrian Matei (Managed Services) will dive into what operational excellence means for NoSQL Databases, and how this can be achieved with a managed service provider. We will explore: 

1) Introduction and main advantages of adopting NoSQL databases
2) Big data and AI use cases that leverage non-relational databases
3) Operational excellence in NoSQL Databases, from key operations to holistic approaches 
4) Benefits and challenges when choosing a managed service provider for your NoSQL database operations 
5) Future of NoSQL databases

Join us on the 18th of June 2024 for 30 minutes of expertise in NoSQL operations!

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

Using PostgreSQL to power your AI applications

AI is at the heart of a revolution in the technology space. From oil & gas to public sector, from telco to retail, all departments from all industries are looking for ways to put AI to work. Once organisations have finalised use case assessment, their next question is typically related to the environment they will use to develop and deploy their AI initiatives. 

They often prefer the public clouds as an initial environment, because of the computing power and ability to scale as projects mature. In addition to the infrastructure, enterprises need software where they can develop and deploy the machine learning models. Open source tools such as Jupyter Notebooks or MLflow are a great starting point and enable you to have a consistent experience on any cloud for your ML workloads. When scaling projects, the need for MLOps platforms such as Charmed Kubeflow is absolutely obvious.

Join our webinar to learn more about open source tooling for AI on public cloud. Led by Aaron Whitehouse, Senior Public Cloud Enablement Director, and Andreea Munteanu, AI Product Manager, the webinar will cover:

Scenarios in which open source tooling on public cloud solves a problem for AI initiatives

AI on public cloud with open source

Many entities mistakenly consider ML models as the only significant challenge in an AI project. In reality, one of the most essential considerations for a successful AI/ML initiative is the infrastructure on which models are deployed, tested, and rolled out. This in itself creates the need for AI infrastructure specialists, which can be both difficult and costly to find. There is, however, another option: outsourcing your AI infrastructure to a multi-cloud managed service provider. 

Choosing an open-sourced managed infrastructure solution can help you accelerate your time to production, easily and cost-effectively cover some essential skill gaps in your ML journey, and even increase your budget’s predictability. In this webinar, product managers Adrian Matei and Andreea Munteanu explore the implications and benefits of adopting a Managed AI solution like Canonical’s. Join us and find out more!

Topics covered include: 
- Managed AI infrastructure overview & processes 
- Products & platforms
- Pre-deployment considerations

Managed AI infrastructure: demystifying AI’s most underrated challenge

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.
