Overview
About this course.
This class prepares students for the Klique Infrastructure Engineer (Klique-IE) certification. Klique (previously know as ClearML) is an open-source MLOps platform that enables teams to seamlessly track, orchestrate, and scale machine learning workloads across Kubernetes, cloud, and hybrid environments. By the conclusion of this hands-on training, you will return to work with the skills to deploy, secure, and operate a full Klique environment — from experiment tracking to GPU-powered model serving.
Throughout the course, you will learn to use Helm, Kubernetes, and cloud-native tools to manage Klique at scale. You’ll configure external data stores, automate agent scaling, integrate with Hugging Face and vLLM, and practice troubleshooting real-world Klique incidents. The curriculum combines scenario-based labs with production-focused simulations.
