Red Hat, a provider of open-source solutions, today announced the availability of Red Hat OpenShift Data Science as a field trial, as well as an expanded partner ecosystem focused on this new cloud service offering.

Red Hat OpenShift Data Science is a cloud service offering tailored for machine learning on Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat’s enterprise Kubernetes platform. With this, enterprises gain greater flexibility in selecting technologies to develop, test, and deploy machine learning models, while also removing the overhead that usually comes with running and maintaining a production platform. 

In addition, several members of Red Hat’s artificial intelligence and machine learning partner ecosystem are now pre-integrated into the user interface dashboard. This grants access to hardware and software acceleration solutions as well as tools to support the model operationalization lifecycle.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles.

That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice.

Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two.
