The Power of the Cloud: Scaling Your Infrastructure for a Resilient Future

In today's tech-driven landscape, businesses need a scalable and resilient infrastructure to support their digital initiatives. Cloud computing offers an efficient and flexible solution to achieve these goals, leveraging advanced technologies such as Kubernetes, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Mimir, and PagerDuty.

This session will provide an in-depth exploration of cloud infrastructure, with a particular focus on Kubernetes, a popular container orchestration platform. Attendees will learn how to use Kubernetes to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, delivering improved portability, reliability, and ease of use.

Attendees will also learn how to monitor and optimize their Kubernetes infrastructure using tools such as Grafana and Prometheus. These tools enable businesses to gain visibility into their cloud environment, track key performance metrics, and troubleshoot issues in real-time.

The Future of AI with C#: Empowering Developers to Build Intelligent Systems

As businesses continue to embrace conversational AI, developers are looking for efficient ways to build chatbots that can understand and respond to user’s needs. OpenAI has released the GPT chatbot model, which is an LSTM-based generative language model that can be fine-tuned to generate responses for specific tasks leveraging Contextual AI.

In this session, the speaker will guide attendees on how to write C# code using OpenAI to generate chatbots like ChatGPT. The attendees will learn about how to set up C# with OpenAI and walk through the different options available for writing chatbots ranging from interactive chatbots to chatbots in edge devices.

The speaker will begin by walking through how to set up OpenAI environment in C# and then demonstrating the basics of fine-tuning the GPT model for a chatbot context. Attendees will learn some of the ways to optimize data gathering and management for use with fine-tuning. The speaker will share insights on how to fine-tune GPT to generate natural language responses for given inputs and various methods to encode the context and integrate them into the code.

we will also deploy the app using kubernetes/docker and visualize using grafana.
