This learning path introduces NVIDIA NIM for LLM microservices, covering its purpose, formats, and benefits. You'll explore deployment options via API Catalog, Docker, and Kubernetes, and complete hands-on labs for Docker and Kubernetes-based inference workflows—building skills to deploy, scale, and integrate GPU-optimized LLMs into enterprise applications.

Welcome to the NVIDIA Run:ai for Platform Engineers Learning Path! This learning path is designed to build both foundational knowledge and practical skills for platform engineers and administrators responsible for managing GPU resources at scale. It begins by introducing learners to the key components of the NVIDIA Run:ai platform, including its Control Plane and Cluster, and explains how NVIDIA Run:ai extends Kubernetes to orchestrate AI workloads efficiently. The learning path then covers essential topics such as authentication and role-based access, organizational management through projects and departments, and workload operations using assets, templates, and policies. Learners will also explore GPU fractioning to understand how NVIDIA Run:ai maximizes GPU utilization and ensures fair resource allocation across teams. All this builds toward a hands-on lab experience designed to reinforce your learning and give you practical experience working directly with NVIDIA Run:ai.

This Learning Series was created for NVIDIA DGX admins and operators to explore things you would use on Day 3 when administering your NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD and BasePOD environments with BCM (Base Command Manager). It will go into advanced topics of cmshell, cloud bursting from BCM, HA for headnodes, IB setup and testing of worker nodes, active directory integrations, as well as advanced workload topics of deploying Kubernetes from Base Command Manager.
