Red Hat ☛ Build and deploy a ModelCar container in OpenShift AI
One challenge of managing models in production environments with Red Hat OpenShift AI and KServe is the dependency on S3-compatible storage. When serving models using KServe in OpenShift AI, users must deploy S3-compatible storage somewhere accessible in their cluster and then upload their model to an S3 bucket. Managing models through S3 creates new challenges for traditional operations teams deploying production services. Teams may need to create new processes to promote model artifacts from development/test environments.
OpenShift Hey Hi (AI) 2.14 enabled the ability to serve models directly from a container using KServe's ModelCar capabilities, and OpenShift Hey Hi (AI) 2.16 has added the ability to deploy a ModelCar image from the OpenShift Hey Hi (AI) dashboard.
