Objectives

  • Gain a solid understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs) and their unique applications to streamline operations workflows
  • Master prompt engineering techniques to maximize the effectiveness of LLMs in addressing IT and operational challenges, including log analysis, alert generation, and incident response
  • Integrate LLMs seamlessly into existing monitoring, alerting, and automation tools for improved efficiency and decision-making
  • Develop practical, real-world use cases that leverage LLMs to enhance operational processes and resolve production outages
  • Confidently deploy and manage open-source LLMs, including Llama 3, in production environments for optimal performance and scalability
  • Package LLM applications into containers using Docker for efficient deployment and portability
  • Orchestrate LLM containers with Kubernetes for scalable, resilient, and automated management
  • Implement robust strategies to scale LLM applications to handle varying workloads and ensure optimal performance
  • Monitor and troubleshoot LLM applications effectively, tracking key performance metrics and addressing potential issues proactively
  • Implement automated testing and robust security measures to ensure the reliability, safety, and compliance of LLM applications
  • Optimize resource usage and costs in cloud-based LLM deployments, ensuring cost-effectiveness and sustainability

Prerequisites

  • Practical Python programming and scripting for automation tasks (6+ months)
    • API call access and event stream handling
    • Exception handling, debugging, testing, and logging
  • Experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) and orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and tools, such as Jenkins, GitLab, or GitHub Actions
  • Knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and their services
  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools, such as Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) is recommended but not required
  • Machine Learning concepts recommended - classification, regression, clustering
