An introduction to Python programming, to machine learning concepts, and how to use Red Hat OpenShift AI to train ML models.
Python is a popular programming language used by system administrators, data scientists, and developers to create applications, perform statistical analysis, and train AI/ML models. This course introduces the Python language and teaches students basic machine learning concepts, and the different types of machine learning. This course helps students build core skills such as using Red Hat OpenShift AI to train ML models and how to apply best practices when training models through hands-on experience.
This course is based on Python 3, RHEL 9.0, Red Hat OpenShift ® 4.14, and Red Hat OpenShift AI 2.8.
