About the event
Learn how to deploy and scale AI applications using Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service). This hands-on workshop demonstrates how to build a complete generative AI platform with automated cluster management, hybrid infrastructure, and enterprise-grade observability.

What You'll Learn:

• Leverage EKS Auto Mode for automated Kubernetes cluster management
• Architect hybrid node pools for optimal performance and cost efficiency
• Implement end-to-end observability and LLM serving with vLLM

Hands-on Lab Experience:
Learn directly from AWS experts who have helped organizations successfully deploy and manage large-scale GenAI infrastructure.
Through hands-on labs and real-world examples, you'll learn to master:

• EKS cluster setup optimized for NVIDIA GPU workloads
• Efficient model serving and scaling using vLLM
• Distributed inference architecture implementation with Ray
• Comprehensive monitoring and observability using Prometheus and Grafana
• Best practices for production GenAI deployments on Kubernetes.

Who Should Attend:
Whether you're looking to deploy your first language model or scale existing GenAI workloads, this workshop will provide you with best practices and hands-on experience using industry-leading tools and frameworks.

Requirements:

• Bring your laptop and power adapter
• AWS account access will be provided
• Basic familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts
• Basic Kubernetes concepts

Through guided exercises, you'll gain practical experience deploying and managing enterprise AI applications on AWS infrastructure.
