Topic

Using Kubernetes for managing Cognitive Healthcare applications.

Abstract

For more than a year, we were deploying Healthcare applications in virtual machines on our cloud platform. Using virtual machines has been a costly and a heavyweight solution for us, therefore, it was clear and an easy decision to evaluate Kubernetes for deploying our HealthCare applications. Our design was to set up the Application and Data containers in the same namespace along with the required agents, using Sidecars, for security and compliances required in Healthcare.

Profile

When IBM’s Watson computer made headlines for its winning appearance on the game show Jeopardy, few people wondered who was behind the development of the cognitive platform that ran it. It has been a privilege to work with top developers across the globe to see this emerging technology Artificial Intelligence project to launch. I’ve dedicated the last 7 years to building the artificial intelligence and deep learning circuitry, and have recently been involved with the development of a similar platform to serve the healthcare industry. My ability to innovate in a space with no precedence or boundaries has been a rewarding contribution to technological advancement. Since Watson’s commercial success, I have been around the world talking to an entire global developer community and some of the largest companies on the planet about developing cutting edge technology and how to duplicate our efforts for specific uses in their industries.
