Course Syllabus

Module 1: JumpStart & Open-Source Models

  • •Why self-host? Privacy, cost, and customisation
  • •SageMaker JumpStart model catalog overview
  • •Llama 3 model variants: 8B vs 70B trade-offs
  • •AWS Inferentia2 vs GPU instances for inference
  • •IAM roles and VPC setup for private endpoints

Module 2: One-Click Deployment

  • •Deploying Llama 3 from JumpStart UI in one click
  • •Endpoint configuration: instance type, count, scaling
  • •Monitoring deployment status and logs
  • •Testing the endpoint with the SageMaker console
  • •Programmatic deployment with the Python SDK

Module 3: Calling & Optimising the Endpoint

  • •Invoking the endpoint with boto3 and streaming
  • •Prompt formatting for Llama 3 chat template
  • •Auto-scaling: scale to zero when idle
  • •Scheduled shutdown to eliminate idle costs
  • •Capstone: private Llama 3 endpoint with VPC-only access
