VMware Aria Automation provides support for self-service catalog items that DevOps engineers and data scientists can use to provision AI workloads in VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA in a user-friendly and customizable way.
Deploy VMware Aria Automation for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA
The VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA features are available in VMware Aria Automation 8.16.2 and VMware Aria Automation 8.17. You use VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle in VMware Cloud Foundation mode to deploy it.
Because the features for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA are available in a VMware Aria Automation version that is later than the version supported by VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle delivered with VMware Cloud Foundation 5.1.1, you must apply a patch to VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle before you deploy VMware Aria Automation.
Prerequisites
By using SDDC Manager, create the following components in VMware Cloud Foundation:
- Deploy an NSX Edge cluster in the management domain. See Deploy an NSX Edge Cluster in the VMware Cloud Foundation Administration Guide.
- Create Application Virtual Networks. See Deploying Application Virtual Networks in VMware Cloud Foundation in the VMware Cloud Foundation Administration Guide.
- Deploy VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle in VMware Cloud Foundation mode. See VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle Implementation in the VMware Cloud Foundation Administration Guide.
Procedure
Upgrade VMware Aria Automation for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA
After you upgrade VMware Aria Automation to the version in VMware Cloud Foundation 5.1.1, you must update VMware Aria Automation once again to a version supported for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA.
Because the features for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA are available in VMware Aria Automation versions that are later than the version supported by VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle delivered with VMware Cloud Foundation 5.1.1, after you complete the upgrade of the VMware Cloud Foundation 5.1.1 components, you must update it explicitly by using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
Prerequisites
- Upgrade VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle and VMware Aria Automation to their versions in VMware Cloud Foundation 5.1.1. See VMware Cloud Foundation Lifecycle Management.
Procedure
Connect VMware Aria Automation to a Workload Domain for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA
You use the Quickstart wizard for VMware Cloud Foundation to create the required constructs for provisioning workloads on a GPU-enabled workload domain in a VMware Cloud Foundation instance.
Prerequisites
Procedure
- ♦ In the VMware Aria Automation UI, run the VMware Cloud Foundation Quickstart wizard.
See How do you get started with VMware Aria Automation using the VMware Cloud Foundation Quickstart in the VMware Aria Automation Product Documentation.
