Advancing Our Chef Infrastructure

Slack manages tens of thousands of EC2 instances, and Chef plays a central role in provisioning these machines. Slack migrated from a single to a sharded Chef infrastructure for increased reliability, begun by creating multiple Chef stacks to distribute the load, thus eliminating the dependence on a single Chef stack. Challenges encountered and resolved included assigning nodes to shards, neighbourhood discovery, chef searching, and cookbook uploads. Chef Librarian was developed by Slack for versioning cookbooks and updating environments independently. The Slack app for Chef Librarian's interface allows users to view artifacts that have been uploaded with specific commits and when an environment was updated to a specific version in a particular Chef shard. Slack is still exploring ways to further segment its Chef environments and the use of Chef PolicyFiles and PolicyGroups for flexibility and safety when deploying changes.

What’s Stopping You from Building Your Own AI App? Start Now with AWS SageMaker!

The city wants to build a generative AI app to customize search patterns for relevant information related to the city’s municipal department.
Deploy a state-of-the-art foundation model by using Amazon SageMaker JumpStart.
To test that the endpoint works for general questions, submit the question: Which day comes after Friday?
The data is formatted as a .csv file with two columns: Question and Answer. Pandas is used to create a DataFrame that provides for quick removal of the question column, leaving only the answer column as the data library.
Multiple built-in functions exist in LangChain to read different file formats, such as .txt, .html, and .pdf.
Based on the question, identify the top K most relevant documents, where K = 3 in this solution.
With the Q&A application that is built from the code in this notebook, users can ask a free-form question.
Using the prompt, which chains the top 3 most relevant documents and question, send the question to the LLM for an answer
Overall response was not so good somewhat it’s not completed , may be we can change the foundation model like — Flan-T5 Base model Deploy a second SageMaker endpoint, using an ml.g5.2xlarge instance and the Flan-T5 Base foundation model.
