Chapter 1. Overview of OpenShift AI
Red Hat OpenShift AI is a platform for data scientists and developers of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) applications.
OpenShift AI provides an environment to develop, train, serve, test, and monitor AI/ML models and applications on-premise or in the cloud.
For data scientists, OpenShift AI includes Jupyter and a collection of default notebook images optimized with the tools and libraries required for model development, and the TensorFlow and PyTorch frameworks. Deploy and host your models, integrate models into external applications, and export models to host them in any hybrid cloud environment. You can enhance your data science projects on OpenShift AI by building portable machine learning (ML) workflows with data science pipelines, using Docker containers. You can also accelerate your data science experiments through the use of graphics processing units (GPUs) and Habana Gaudi devices.
For administrators, OpenShift AI enables data science workloads in an existing Red Hat OpenShift or ROSA environment. Manage users with your existing OpenShift identity provider, and manage the resources available to notebook servers to ensure data scientists have what they require to create, train, and host models. Use accelerators to reduce costs and allow your data scientists to enhance the performance of their end-to-end data science workflows using graphics processing units (GPUs) and Habana Gaudi devices.
OpenShift AI has two deployment options:
Self-managed software that you can install on-premise or in the cloud. You can install OpenShift AI Self-Managed in a self-managed environment such as OpenShift Container Platform, or in Red Hat-managed cloud environments such as Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated (with a Customer Cloud Subscription for AWS or GCP), Red Hat OpenShift Service on Amazon Web Services (ROSA Classic), or Red Hat OpenShift Service on Amazon Web Services with hosted control planes (ROSA HCP).
For information about OpenShift AI as self-managed software on your OpenShift cluster in a connected or a disconnected environment, see Product Documentation for Red Hat OpenShift AI Self-Managed.
A managed cloud service, installed as an add-on in Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated (with a Customer Cloud Subscription for AWS or GCP) or in Red Hat OpenShift Service on Amazon Web Services (ROSA Classic).
For information about OpenShift AI Cloud Service, see Product Documentation for Red Hat OpenShift AI.
For information about OpenShift AI supported software platforms, components, and dependencies, see Supported configurations.
