Getting Started | Validated Patterns

Deploying the Red Hat OpenShift AI Pattern

Prerequisites

An OpenShift cluster
- To create an OpenShift cluster, go to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud console.
- Select Services -> Containers -> Create cluster.
- The cluster must have a dynamic StorageClass to provision PersistentVolumes. See sizing your cluster.
Optional: A second OpenShift cluster for multicloud demonstration.
Install the tooling dependencies.

The use of this pattern depends on having at least one running Red Hat OpenShift cluster. However, consider creating a cluster for deploying the GitOps management hub assets and a separate cluster for the managed cluster.

If you do not have a running Red Hat OpenShift cluster, you can start one on a public or private cloud by using Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.

Procedure

Fork the openshift-ai repository on GitHub.

Clone the forked copy of this repository.

git clone git@github.com:your-username/openshift-ai.git

Customize the deployment for your cluster. Run the following command:

git switch -c my-branch

vi values-hub.yaml

git add values-hub.yaml

git commit values-hub.yaml

git push origin my-branch

Deploy the pattern by running ./pattern.sh make install or by using the Validated Patterns Operator.

Deploying the cluster by using the pattern.sh file

To deploy the cluster by using the pattern.sh file, complete the following steps:

Login to your cluster by running the following command:
```
 oc login
```
Optional: Set the KUBECONFIG variable for the kubeconfig file path:
```
 export KUBECONFIG=~/<path_to_kubeconfig>
```
Deploy the pattern to your cluster. Run the following command:
```
 ./pattern.sh make install
```

Verify Red Hat OpenShift AI Pattern installation

Verify that the Operators have been installed.
1. To verify, in the OpenShift Container Platform web console, navigate to Operators → Installed Operators page.
2. Set your project to All Projects and verify the operators are isntalled and have a status of Succeeded.
Verify that all applications are synchronized. Under the project openshift-ai-hub click the URL for the hub gitops server.
As part of this pattern, HashiCorp Vault has been installed. Refer to the section on Vault.

Verify installation by checking the OpenShift AI Dashboard

Access the OpenShift AI dashboard

RHODS=https://$(oc get route -n redhat-ods-applications -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}')
echo ${RHODS}

You can also get to the dashboard from the OpenShift Console by selecting the application shortcut icon and then selecting the link for Red Hat OpenShift Ai

Log in to the Dashboard using your OpenShift credentials. You will find an environment that is ready for further configuration. This pattern provides the fundamental platform pieces to support MLOps workflows. The installation of OpenShift Pipelines enables the immediate use of pipelines if that is the desired approach for deployment.
