An introduction to Python programming, and creating and managing AI/ML workloads with Red Hat OpenShift AI.

Python is a popular programming language used by system administrators, data scientists, and developers to create applications, perform statistical analysis, and train AI/ML models. This course introduces the Python language and teaches the basics of using Red Hat OpenShift AI for AI/ML workloads. This course helps students build core skills such as describing the Red Hat OpenShift AI architecture, and organizing, executing and testing AI/ML code through hands-on experience. These skills can be applied in all versions of Red Hat OpenShift AI.

This course is based on Python 3, RHEL 9.0, Red Hat OpenShift ® 4.14, and Red Hat OpenShift AI 2.8.

Note: This course is offered as a 4 day in person class or a 5 day virtual class. Durations may vary based on the delivery. For full course details, scheduling, and pricing, select your location then “get started” on the right hand menu.
