You've been looking to learn AI infrastructure — not start from ML basics.
Built for engineers who already own Kubernetes: six weeks across GPU Operator, vLLM, KServe, Triton, KubeFlow, and MLflow — the full AI infrastructure stack taught from the infra side. No ML prerequisites, no 15-course sprawl — just what your job description actually requires.
What You'll Learn
AI Infrastructure Blueprint
Design a GPU cluster architecture with Terraform node pools — covering inference economics, resource management, and cost trade-offs across cloud environments.
GPU Orchestration Framework
Deploy NVIDIA GPU Operators on Kubernetes with MIG partitioning and multi-tenant scheduling — verified running in a live lab cluster.
LLM Inference System
Deploy Mistral-7B behind vLLM and KServe, optimized with Triton — benchmarked for P50/P99 latency and tokens/sec against production targets.
End-to-End MLOps Pipeline
Build a KubeFlow pipeline wired to MLflow, with Evidently drift detection and automated retraining triggers — production-ready from day one.
Who Is This For?
This sprint is designed for:
Cloud Engineers Expanding into AI
Who need to incorporate GPU orchestration and MLOps into their cloud environments to meet the demands of new AI-oriented projects.
DevOps Professionals Facing AI Workloads
Who are tasked with deploying and managing AI models in production environments but lack the specific skills for GPU and LLM operations.
ML Engineers Taking Models to Production
Who can train and fine-tune models but need the infrastructure layer — GPU scheduling, inference serving, and MLOps pipelines — to ship to production without depending on a separate platform team.
Sprint Outline
6 weeks · 3 sessions per week
Projects You'll Ship
Leave with real work to show, not just a certificate.
AI Infrastructure Architecture Plan
A detailed architecture plan for AI infrastructure that includes GPU cluster configurations and inference economics. This plan will serve as a foundational document for deploying AI workloads at scale.
LLM Inference Deployment Manual
A comprehensive manual for deploying and optimizing LLM inference systems using KServe and Triton, focusing on real-world performance metrics. A reusable guide for deploying various LLMs in production.
MLOps Pipeline Configuration Document
A detailed pipeline configuration document using KubeFlow and Argo, covering model versioning and drift detection. A blueprint for implementing robust MLOps practices in any organization.

⭐ 4.9 / 5
Marcus Chen is the Principal Platform Engineer for AI Infrastructure at Databricks, where he runs GPU cluster operations across 2,000+ nodes on AWS and Azure and owns the LLM inference platform serving production workloads. Before Databricks, he spent five years as a Senior SRE at Google Cloud. He teaches from the infra side — not the ML side.
What Students Say
