Packing a punch with containerised AI applications

Just like no two lunchboxes look the same, there are endless possibilities and considerations in the development of a modernised IT infrastructure.

We have all had or made a lunchbox. But why is the traditional lunchbox so beloved? It's an ingenious way of bringing order to chaos - just like containerisation brings order to AI models.

Separated by different compartments, a lunch box ensures flavours don't mix, your lunch stays fresh, and you can carry it anywhere. Moreover, depending on how hungry you are, you can easily add or remove containers from your lunchbox.

Similarly, in application containerisation, each application and its dependencies are packaged into separate containers that are isolated from each other. Organisations that have their applications running on the right platform can easily deploy, update, or move these containers across different environments, just like bringing your lunchbox from your home to the office without worrying about compatibility or scaling issues.

BOOM IN AI-BASED APPLICATIONS

The rise in AI in the last couple of years has created new opportunities for organisations. IDC found that more than 3 in 4 APAC organisations recognise the importance of modern cloud architectures, including containerisation, to optimise infrastructure, applications, networks, and costs.
