Session
Enterprise adoption of Generative AI requires building a robust, secure, and scalable service. This demands a unified effort from platform engineering, development, and operations. How do you manage infrastructure, integrate models with apps, and maintain governance? In this unique, hands-on lab, you will experience the complete AI lifecycle by rotating through four critical personas on Red Hat OpenShift AI. As a Platform Engineer, you'll deploy model serving runtimes and prepare GPU infrastructure for hosting private, scalable LLMs. As an AI Application Developer, you'll connect a real-world app to a private LLM endpoint and use a code assistant to accelerate development. As a DevOps Practitioner, you'll use agentic AI to intelligently monitor the health and resource consumption of your AI Platform/ cluster. As a Technical Decision Maker, you'll use dashboards to analyze model usage, track costs, and make informed governance decisions. Participants will walk away with a holistic, practical understanding of how to build, integrate, and manage a complete, production-ready Generative AI service on a single platform.
