DevOps meets AI

DevOps is inherently a cultural shift with a mass of technologies involved at many stages of the lifecycle. Over the past year we have seen a huge change in the AI sector and this developers, entrepreneurs and businesses are all stating to adopt this technology and make it a part of their everyday development. With this being the case, the DevOps lifecycle is going to pivot and change for everyone in one way or another so lets dive into how this is happening!

LLMOps - Building Skills for the AI World

We have all been through the DevOps wave that affected many platforms and technology. With Generative AI, most of the built workflows, automation and experiences are being revolutionised.
