Docker for AI/ML

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. In this course, you will gain a deep understanding of how Docker integrates with Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Docker is a powerful tool that streamlines the deployment and management of ML/AI applications, making it a crucial technology for efficient workflows. You will start by learning the importance of Docker in the context of ML and AI, then move on to setting up Docker on your system, configuring tools, and diving into hands-on projects. The course is structured around practical scenarios, such as building a development environment for MLFlow and Jupyter, containerizing ML applications, and simulating production-grade ML systems using Docker Compose. Each section builds on the previous, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of Docker's role in AI/ML workflows. The course progresses with focused topics, including integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) and using Docker Model Runner for local deployment. This course is perfect for developers, data scientists, and AI/ML practitioners who wish to enhance their ability to deploy and manage machine learning systems using Docker. It is suitable for those with a basic understanding of Docker, AI/ML principles, and software development, as the course focuses on hands-on experience. The difficulty level is intermediate. By the end of the course, you will be able to set up ML/AI environments with Docker, containerize applications, simulate production-grade ML systems, and deploy and manage AI models in Docker containers.
