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 the basics of using Red Hat OpenShift AI for AI/ML workloads. This course helps students build core skills such as describing the Red Hat OpenShift AI architecture, and organizing, executing and testing AI/ML code through hands-on experience. These skills can be applied in all versions of Red Hat OpenShift AI.
