This year has been a quite difficult one for all of us. We had to cope with many challenges in our personal lives and of course in business as well. Despite all the sad news and uncertainty around us, we always strived for staying positive and to make the best out of the situation. And […]
Machine Learning models are developed, trained and deployed within more and more intelligent applications. Most of the modern applications are developed as cloud-native applications and deployed on Kubernetes. There are several ways to serve your ML model so that application components can call a prediction REST web service. Seldon Core is a framework that makes […]

In my last post I promised to introduce you to a selected set of Quarkus extensions. Today I will cover three of those. In my opinion they make total sense in the context of a container development or just container runtime platform (such as Red Hat OpenShift or any other Kubernetes distribution). The effort : […]
Many of us use container images from day to day, maybe also in many various architectures. For example on your Raspberry PI (aarch64), do you really know how it works in detail? I have worked with container images more or less since 2015 but during an OpenShift 4 air-gapped installation and mirroring of images into […]

The NVIDIA GPU Operator is used to manage GPU nodes in OpenShift and make these GPUs consumable for application workloads in an OpenShift cluster. There are several use cases which fit e.g, AI/ML workloads, data analysis, 3D processing. All of these can be done within an OpenShift cluster with GPU power enabled. So, today I […]
Quarkus is the bright new star in the cloud-native App Dev universe! Quarkus is Red Hat’s upstream stack for Kubernetes native Java. Its characteristics are simple: Quarkus is small! Quarkus is fast! Quarkus is familiar! … and Quarkus makes Java relevant again in the cloud-native world where everyone talks about lightweight architectures, event-driven paradigms, container […]
