This lab will guide and educate you on what the F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes is, how it is deployed with NVIDIA DOCA, and how it will ultimately help show the gains in offloading traffic to DPUs instead of tying up resources for your applications on the CPU of the physical K8 host.

This hands-on lab provides a comprehensive introduction to NVIDIA Run:ai, a powerful platform for managing AI workloads on Kubernetes. Designed for AI practitioners, data scientists, and researchers, this lab will guide you through the core concepts and practical applications of Run:ai's workload management system.

NVIDIA's AI Blueprint for RAG is a foundational guide for developers to build powerful data extraction and retrieval pipelines. It leverages NVIDIA NeMo Retriever models to create scalable and customizable RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) applications. This blueprint allows you to connect large language models (LLMs) to a wide range of enterprise data, including text, tables, charts, and infographics within millions of PDFs. The result is context-aware responses that can unlock valuable insights. By using this blueprint, you can achieve 15x faster multimodal PDF data extraction and reduce incorrect answers by 50%. This boost in performance and accuracy helps enterprises drive productivity and get actionable insights from their data.

This lab is intended to give you an overview of HPE Private Cloud AI, HPE's turnkey solution for on-prem AI workloads. HPE has paired with NVIDIA's AI Enterprise software giving customers a scalable on-prem solution that can handle multiple different AI workloads from Inference, RAG, model fine-tuning, and model training.

This lab will provide access to an Openshift cluster running the F5 AI Gateway solution. We will walk through how the F5 AI Gateway routes requests to different models by either allowing them to pass through or, more importantly, securing them via prompt injection checking. We have also added a couple of other tests that will allow for language detection of that input that the F5 AI Gateway can also detect.
