Learn, prevent, and contribute fearlessly!

Supercharge DevOps workflows with AI

Abstract:
Learn how to supercharge your DevOps workflows with AI in this 90-minute workshop. Learn how to integrate powerful AI tools to streamline your development process. Whether you're a seasoned DevOps professional or just getting started, you'll leave this workshop with a solid understanding of how to use AI with your workflows.

Description:
This workshop offers participants hands-on experience in optimizing their CI/CD workflows on GitHub. Attendees will gain in-depth knowledge and skills required to create more efficient, robust, and maintainable workflows by integrating powerful AI services like Azure and OpenAI API.

During the workshop, we will cover the following topics:

Brief Introduction to workflows on GitHub.

Supercharging Your Workflows: Exploring advanced techniques for optimizing workflows, such as caching dependencies, leveraging parallelization, and incorporating third-party actions to enhance your workflow.

AI integration:
Showcasing how to integrate OpenAI & Azure API into your workflows to leverage AI capabilities.

Hands-on Use Cases: Participants will work through one real-world use cases that demonstrate the power of LLM models with Azure, and OpenAI API integrations.

Audience:
This workshop is designed for software developers, DevOps engineers, and technical leads who have a basic understanding of GitHub and some experience using devOps pipelines. Familiarity with Azure or OpenAI API is not required.

Takeaways:
By participating in this workshop, attendees will:

. Gain practical experience in workflows leveraging Azure, and OpenAI API for practical use-cases that were not possible before LLMs.
. Learn advanced techniques and best practices for integrating powerful services into their workflows.
. Work through real-world use cases that highlight the benefits of these integrations.

March 23rd 2023

Ersilia is a tech nonprofit that created an open source platform for infectious and neglected disease researchers, wet-lab scientists and clinicians to use and run machine learning (ML)/ artificial intelligence model predictions. The session will start with challenges in drug development for low resourced regions and what open source and open data in life sciences mean. Next, we will showcase the collaboration between Ersilia and GitHub’s Skills-Based Volunteering Program where GitHub employees volunteered their time to this project that sped up ML model deployment for infectious disease research, including a demonstration of the pipelines in this collaboration. This hands-on workshop will demonstrate the new model submission flow from the perspective of a research scientist where an audience member can receive a model, submit it to Ersilia, then have it approved and merged. Next, we will showcase how GitHub and Ersilia were able to solve the managing dependencies, such as security issues, that Ersilia was facing. The session will conclude with an open table from the audience with the following goals: i) how can this model of collaboration be extrapolated to other areas of tech for good ii) what dissemination actions should be undertaken to encourage OS contributors iii) which features are needed to increase diversity in the teams co-creating open source resources.

KeyNote Speaker at First Linux Conference in India

Scripting Languages for Application Integration.

In this talk, we will explore the ubiquitous nature of scripting languages and their use in application integration. Specifically, we will focus on how scripting languages such as HTML, Perl CGI, TCL TK, and Expect can be leveraged to create dynamic web-based user interfaces for applications. Through the use of two real-world examples, we will showcase how this technique can be used to enhance application development and integration. The first example involves an application developed by the R&D division of Tata Unisys for a Language Processing tool that automatically converts WFL scripts to PERL. The second example showcases an application that analyzes data flow through COBOL programs and uses this information to identify all affected dates, along with an automated remediation step.
