    Confidently plan AI development cycles with Capacity Blocks for ML

    Time: 11:00AM – 11:25AM

    Capacity Blocks for ML allow you to reserve highly sought-after GPU instances on a future date to support your short duration machine learning (ML) workloads. With Capacity Blocks, you can see when GPU instance capacity is available on future dates, and you can schedule a Capacity Block to start at a time that works best for you. We recommend you join this session to know about Capacity Blocks when you need GPUs to support your ML workloads for days or weeks at a time and don't want to pay for a reservation while your GPU instances aren't in use.

    Modernizing Applications with Containers and Serverless (Co-present with Megazone)

    Time: 2:30PM – 2:55PM

    As organizations look to increase the pace of innovation, get more value out of their data, and build new customer experiences, they need to modernize the way they build and operate applications. Modern applications allow organizations to innovate faster while reducing risk, accelerating time to market, and lowering total cost of ownership. We'll take a closer look at what's driving modernization initiatives, how they benefit both organizations and stakeholders, the Return on Investment from this undertaking, the strategic benefits and practical considerations of embracing container-based deployments and serverless computing to modernize application architectures, and most importantly, how you can get started today.

    Containers or serverless functions: When to choose what

    Time: 4:00PM – 4:25PM

    In the evolution of cloud computing, containers have become a pivotal technology for building modern applications. They provide a robust way for packaging, deploying and operating applications, with Kubernetes emerging as a leading orchestrator. On the other hand, Serverless functions provide a streamlined, event-driven model that abstracts infrastructure management entirely. In this session we'll explore the fundamental differences in architecture, scalability, and operational characteristics between these technologies. By investigating real-world scenarios we'll gain insights into choosing the right approach to build modern applications based on workload requirements, deployment scenarios, and operations. Lastly, we'll explore synergies between these technologies, demonstrating how they can be combined to leverage the strengths of both.
