Forget the hype – artificial intelligence is here and it’s only going to get more pervasive as time goes on. Luckily KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 has a plethora of keynotes, tracks, an un-conference, and two co-located events all completely focused on AI and machine learning.
Here’s a look at everything that’s happening (and you might want to bookmark this page!):
