What is this reference architecture addendum for?

This document adds AI-capable storage based on NeuralMesh by WEKA to the Reference Architecture for AI on Supermicro SYS-212GB-FNR, implementing the NVIDIA AI Data Platform (AIDP) on Kubernetes.

Who is the intended audience?

It is intended for IT architects, consultants, and administrators planning and deploying Kubernetes-based AI solutions using Spectro Cloud PaletteAI.

What technologies are included?

The addendum covers Supermicro storage servers, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Kubernetes 1.33, Cilium, the WEKA Operator, RDMA networking with NVIDIA BlueField-3 or ConnectX-7, and Spectrum-X Ethernet.

How is the WEKA storage cluster deployed?

The WEKA Operator deploys and manages the NeuralMesh storage cluster on Kubernetes, using custom resources for drive discovery, driver distribution, cluster initialization, and CSI integration.

How does PaletteAI fit into this architecture?

Spectro Cloud PaletteAI automates deployment and lifecycle management of both the NeuralMesh storage cluster and the AI clusters through validated cluster profiles.
