Exercise 0: Environment and Prerequisites

Objective

In this lab, we will:

  • make ourselves familiar with the environment (Openshift & OpenShiftAI)
  • clone the repository containing the workshop materials

Prerequisites

  • Access to an OpenShift environment with OpenShift-AI and JupyterLab activated

Step 1: Access the Environment

You will be provided a link and necessary credentials to access an OpenShift instance.

Follow these steps to set up your environment:

  1. Create a Project: Start by creating a new project in the OpenShift console to isolate your workshop resources.

Note: If a project is already available for you, skip this step and do not create a new project.

  1. Create a Workbench: Navigate to the OpenShift AI (RHODS) dashboard and create a new workbench.

  2. Open the Workbench: Once the workbench is provisioned, when it's status says running, click the icon showing and arrow to launch the JupyterLab environment.

  3. Login to Workbench: If prompted, enter your credentials to authenticate and access the workbench.

Note: User & Password are the same credentials provided for OpenShift AI.

  1. Access the Dashboard: Allow service account to access the requested ressources.

  2. Verify the Interface: Familiarize yourself with the JupyterLab interface where you will be performing the exercises.

Step 2: Clone the Repository

Clone the workshop repository from GitHub.

Copy the Repo-URL

Go to the original GitHub repository page: "Clone Repo Github" and copy the the URL of the repo:

Open the created workbench

At the left panel, you can click on the git-icon shown in the image below and select Clone a Repository.

paste the copied URL from the original repo and click on clone to download the code inside the jupyterlab:

Go to the path MLOps-Workshop-Exercises/labs/01_beginner/, where you find the workshop materials for bike demand forecasting.

Summary

In this exercise, you:

  1. Access and get familiar with the workshop environment
  2. Cloned the workshop repository using HTTPS
  3. Verified the repository structure and workshop materials
