Prove Your AI Workloads Can Recover: Hands-On with Full-Stack DR [HOL6020]

NOTE: Bring your laptop to follow along for the best hands-on experience. Laptops are not provided.

Cloud-native AI workloads running on Kubernetes may require infrastructure-level backup or disaster recovery. In this hands-on lab, learn how to help protect AI workloads running on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) and Oracle Autonomous AI Database (ADB) using OCI Full Stack Disaster Recovery and Resiliency. You will configure disaster recovery resources, test recovery workflows, evaluate recovery readiness, and troubleshoot common issues from a single control plane. The lab demonstrates how teams can use OCI resiliency capabilities—to coordinate recovery activities for AI and cloud-native applications.

Wednesday, Oct 28, 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM PDT
