Course overview

About this course

This course introduces the SUSE AI open infrastructure platform used to deploy and run GenAI workloads. It covers the deployment of the base operating system and cluster that will run the AI middleware, vector database and AI workloads. Once the base OS and Kubernetes cluster are deployed and imported into Rancher Prime, SUSE Storage is installed as the storage layer. At that point the AI related components such as the AI middleware (Ollama), vector database (Milvus) and AI chat application (Open WebUI) are installed. Finally SUSE Security is installed into the AI Cluster enabling the cluster to be secured and the SUSE Observability and OpenTelemetry agents are installed enabling the workloads to be observed.
