With all the buzz around ChatGPT and the rapid mainstreaming of generative AI, 2024 was predicted to be the year of AI. While the market certainly talks a lot about AI this year, we’ve yet to see much of it in production environments. Events are a great chance for tech companies to showcase or announce new innovations to the market.

Widespread adoption of containerized infrastructure has been closely followed by an explosion of container-native tools for each layer of the stack, including new solutions for managing CI/CD pipelines in container-based environments, such as the Argo suite, FluxCD, and Tekton. This is because these lightweight solutions make it easier to automate builds, testing, deployments, and more on Kubernetes, as well as other platforms that manage containerized workloads and services.

If you’re working in the cloud, you’re part of a rapidly growing industry. Global spending on public cloud services is set to double, reaching $482 billion in 2024, up from $243 billion in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5% What’s the takeaway? With organizations increasingly depending on cloud services, managing costs effectively is a must. Otherwise, the expenses will pile up, and money will flow down.

The evolution of generative AI is beginning to rapidly transform the way that we work and communicate. This is only set to increase as generative AI excels in providing business value by driving innovation and making intelligent decisions at unprecedented speeds. However, to fully harness its potential, organisations must ensure that they deploy this revolutionary technology safely, securely and responsibly with the right network connectivity.
