Chapter 2. Enabling applications that are connected to OpenShift AI

You must enable SaaS-based applications before using them with Red Hat OpenShift AI. On-cluster applications are enabled automatically.

Typically, you can install, or enable applications connected to OpenShift AI using one of the following methods:

  • Enabling the application from the Explore page on the OpenShift AI dashboard, as documented in the following procedure.

  • Installing the Operator for the application from OperatorHub. OperatorHub is a web console for cluster administrators to discover and select Operators to install on their cluster. It is deployed by default in OpenShift (Installing from OperatorHub using the web console).

    Note

    Deployments containing Operators installed from OperatorHub may not be fully supported by Red Hat.

  • Installing the Operator for the application from Red Hat Marketplace (Install Operators).
  • Installing the application as an Operator to your OpenShift cluster (Adding Operators to a cluster).

For some applications (such as Jupyter), the API endpoint is available on the tile for the application on the Enabled page of OpenShift AI. Certain applications cannot be accessed directly from their tiles, for example, OpenVINO provides notebook images for use in Jupyter and does not provide an endpoint link from its tile. Additionally, it may be useful to store these endpoint URLs as environment variables for easy reference in a notebook environment.

Some independent software vendor (ISV) applications must be installed in specific namespaces. In these cases, the tile for the application in the OpenShift AI dashboard specifies the required namespace.

To help you get started quickly, you can access the application’s learning resources and documentation on the Resources page, or on the Enabled page by clicking the relevant link on the tile for the application.

Prerequisites

  • You have logged in to Red Hat OpenShift AI.
  • Your administrator has installed or configured the application on your OpenShift cluster.

Procedure

  1. On the OpenShift AI home page, click Explore.
  2. On the Explore page, find the tile for the application that you want to enable.
  3. Click Enable on the application tile.
  4. If prompted, enter the application’s service key and then click Connect.
  5. Click Enable to confirm that you want to enable the application.

Verification

  • The application that you enabled appears on the Enabled page.
  • The API endpoint is displayed on the tile for the application on the Enabled page.
