Evaluating RAG Solutions
Enhance your AI skills with Luca Berton’s course on evaluating and implementing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions. This course is short but packed with practical information. Here’s what you’ll cover:
Identifying Requirements: Learn how to figure out what your customer support team really needs and which questions are most common.
Choosing the Right RAG Model: Discover how to pick the best RAG model based on how well it works—things like how accurate it is, how fast it responds, and how easy it is to integrate with your current systems.
Setting Up and Configuring: Get step-by-step instructions on how to set up the tools and environment you need for RAG, and how to connect it with your customer support systems.
Testing and Optimization: Learn how to test your RAG system to make sure it’s working correctly and how to fine-tune it to make it even better.
Real-World Example: See how RAG works in a real-world scenario by watching a customer support query being processed through the system. You’ll also learn how to monitor and improve the system over time.
Kubernetes Storage and Scheduling
The IT Ops Labs: Configure and Manage Kubernetes Storage and Scheduling
The learner is given a Linux machine with Kubernetes preinstalled and configured. They will perform various administrative actions in the environment to give them basic, hands-on familiarity with Storage and Scheduling with command line tools.
Associated Course: Configuring and Managing Kubernetes Storage and Scheduling
Challenge 1: Get Started in the Lab Environment Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!
Challenge 2: Provision Storage Statically Dive into managing Kubernetes storage with a focus on Static Provisioning. Learn to create and bind Persistent Volumes and Persistent Volume Claims, ensuring data persistence and accessibility.
Challenge 3: Provision Storage Dynamically Explore dynamic volume provisioning in Kubernetes by deploying an application with NFS storage. You will then test persistence and access to data across pod lifecycle events.
Challenge 4: Configure Deployments Using Environment Variables Learn to configure Kubernetes pods using environment variables, with a focus on updating them across different deployment scenarios.
Challenge 5: Use Kubernetes Secrets to Store Sensitive Configuration Data You’ll create and access Kubernetes Secrets to store and manage sensitive information like usernames and passwords, both from the command line and within a pod.
Challenge 6: Manage Kubernetes ConfigMaps for Environment and File-Based Configurations You’ll create ConfigMaps in Kubernetes to manage environment variables and file-based configurations for different deployment environments, including production and QA (Quality Assurance).
Challenge 7: Control the Kubernetes Scheduler To finish this lab, you’ll manage the Kubernetes scheduler.
Kubernetes Maintain, Monitor, and Troubleshoot
The IT Ops Labs: Maintain, Monitor, and Troubleshoot Kubernetes
The learner is given a Linux machine with Kubernetes preinstalled and configured. They will perform various administrative actions in the environment to give them basic, hands-on familiarity with Storage and Scheduling with command line tools.
Associated Course: Maintaining, Monitoring and Troubleshooting Kubernetes
Challenge 1: Get Started in the Lab Environment Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!
Challenge 2: Manage etcd Configuration You’ll manage etcd configurations, perform backups, and restore data in Kubernetes, enhancing system integrity and availability.
Challenge 3: Upgrade Kubernetes You’ll upgrade the control plane node of a Kubernetes cluster, which is crucial for security, performance, and new features.
Challenge 4: Explore Logs You’ll explore Kubernetes logging architecture by setting up and managing logs across pods, nodes, and control plane components for improved troubleshooting and maintenance.
Challenge 5: Monitor Events You will learn about Kubernetes events, and how to monitor them.
Challenge 6: Troubleshoot Kubernetes Clusters Test your troubleshooting capabilities on a Kubernetes worker node.
Ansible
Project Signature
In this session, Ansible Project Sign and Verify, you’ll learn more about the ansible-sign command line utility. Some examples of how you could sign and verify our Ansible Project. Exploring some possible failure scenarios such as file tampering, signature mismatch and more. Plus how to configure Ansible Project Verification in AWX and Ansible Automation Controller. When you’re finished with this session, you’ll better understand how to gain advantage to run only verified Ansible Code in your organization.
