Getting started with Tensor Cores

Technology is advancing rapidly, and with it comes a growing demand for powerful computers, especially in fields such as machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing. As these areas develop, the size and complexity of the data they handle also increases. This surge in computing power requirements necessitates new methods for processing large amounts of data efficiently, without sacrificing accuracy or speed.

A comprehensive guide to NIS2 Compliance: Part 1 - Understanding NIS2 and its scope

The EU NIS2 directive, which calls for strengthening cybersecurity across the European Union, is now active in all member states. Join me for this 3-part blog post series in which I’ll explain what it is, help you understand if it is applicable to your company and how you can become NIS2 compliant.

Scheduled Resource Recommendations in Azure | Azure Cost Optimization

The video showcases a new feature in Turbo360 that allows users to schedule the turning on and off, as well as rightsizing of their Azure resources. Michael Stephenson (product owner for Turbo360) explains how this feature helps users optimize their resources by automatically scheduling actions such as turning off Virtual Machines (VMs) during non-peak hours and scaling them based on usage.

Breaking Silos: Unifying DevOps and MLOps into a Cohesive Software Supply Chain - Part 3

The synergy between DevOps and MLOps is more crucial now than ever. However, merging these two paradigms into a coherent software supply chain poses a unique set of challenges that can leave teams feeling overwhelmed. From the complexities of managing model dependencies to adapting conventional CI/CD tools for advanced machine learning (ML) workflows, the path to integration isn’t without its twists and turns.

Automating DORA Compliance Requirements with Policy as Code

For financial institutions across the EU, and for organisations that do business with these institutions, Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) compliance is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s mandatory. No matter how you’re currently meeting and maintaining compliance with the DORA regulation, automation can improve efficiency and effectiveness of the controls you use to stay DORA-compliant.

Why Kubernetes Is Becoming the Platform of Choice for Running AI/MLOps Workloads

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning operations (MLOps) have become crucial across a wide swath of industries, with the two technologies working in tandem to provide value. AI enables data-driven insights and automation, while MLOps ensures efficient management of AI models throughout their lifecycle. With AI’s growing complexity and scale, organizations need robust infrastructure to manage intensive computational tasks, giving rise to platforms like Kubernetes.

Is the Cloud Broken? Rethinking Simplicity, Value, and Purpose in Cloud Computing

As someone deeply embedded in the cloud-native space, I’ve witnessed how the rapid evolution of cloud computing has unlocked remarkable opportunities—but also introduced significant challenges. Recently, I revisited some research we conducted back in 2022, which revealed a critical trend: despite the hundreds of services offered by the major cloud providers (the Big Three hyperscalers), most businesses use fewer than 10 services from their cloud provider.
