Canonical has been a regular presence at Kubecon events over the years, and we are excited to be joining Kubecon China for the first time. The session, **Tackling operational time-to-market decelerators in AI/ML projects**, will dive deep into the requirements and factors that enable operational excellence in AI ventures, from infrastructure provisioning to monitoring and incident recovery. We will focus on what an open source AI stack should look like from a dual perspective: * On the **component** side, we will explore tools like Kubeflow and MLFlow, examining their integrability in the infrastructure stack and their usability in various AI projects. * On the **operations** side, we will provide a holistic analysis of AI infrastructure operations, from the lowest to the highest levels of the stack. The session will define operational excellence in machine learning, then present the benefits and challenges of achieving it.Lastly, we will lay out various pathways to operational excellence suitable for enterprises of multiple sizes. This topic is particularly important in the context of the recent operational challenges that the industry is facing. With the fast-paced innovation that surrounds the market, and the plethora of new tools and methods that emerge every day, sustaining an operationally efficient stack is key to long-term resilience and success. Furthermore, operational excellence is essential to achieving legal and security compliance, as well as to involvement in governmental projects. For these reasons and more, we invite you to attend the keynote. Adrian and Andreea will be joined by several Canonical APAC representatives, who are excited to meet and discuss any requirements or questions you may have.

Our team looks forward to meeting you there. ## Sign up for our newsletter Get the latest Canonical news and updates in your inbox.
