So why should I use OpenShift AI?… 🙋‍♂️ There are definitely a lot of options and opinions out there on data science, model training, inference, and LLMs. You might ask: 🤔What makes OpenShift AI special? 🧐 What does Red Hat bring to the table? Here are four takeaways that resonated with me from my deep-dive into this “new” technology this week. (Many features have been around for a while we just rebranded it 😉 ) 🗄️ Data Proximity : Runs where your data is. Don’t force your data into the cloud. Run at the edge if you need to. Keep a consistent experience regardless of execution location. 🔐 Secure Notebooks : Make sure the libraries and packages your data scientists are using are vetted. Python/Jupyter is flexible but are you confident what’s being used is secure? 🏎️ Rapid Onboarding : Whether you’re new to AI or standing up new capabilities, OpenShift AI gets you up and running quickly with prescriptive and flexible integrations. 🏋🏼‍♂️Pipeline Maturity: Avoid the “it works in my notebook” problem and deploying unproven models to production. Add MLOps and DevSecOps maturity to your data science pipelines and testing/promotion processes. There are many benefits and features, but these are the four areas that seemed the most compelling to me this week as I dug into the product with our Architects and Consultants. Do these resonate with you? Have I missed anything that stands out so far? Kudos and credit to Mr. Jim Dillon who is always a great sounding board for brainstorming and ideation for helping establish this list. #RedHat #OpenShiftAI #ArtificialIntelligence #DataScience #MLOps #LLM

The Power of Open Infrastructure in AI Innovation Almost a decade ago, my journey into open source and AI algorithms for automation began, with OpenStack leading the charge. It wasn’t just a battle between computational power and freedom—it was a defining moment that shaped my entire career trajectory. It was about unlocking the potential to run complex AI test cases, laying the groundwork for advancements that we see today, even in platforms like OpenAI. As we recently celebrated 10 years of Kubernetes, the unsung technology that fueled freedom and innovation in computing Openstack, is stepping up once again. With the launch of Rackspace OpenStack Enterprise, they’re reaffirming their commitment to open source and the future of AI.

We roll our own Solaris boot images to OCI, and manage software releases / upgrades using zfs send / zfs recv, all from behind a frontend TCP load balancer in a FIPS-2 compliant VPN environment. Benefits: Nobody has access to our host secrets, not even Oracle. No shared certs, no shared keys, no shared anything. The only way in is via an account compromise that leads to a ssh key compromise. You can't beat simplicity when it comes to security design!
