Log in to workload factory

You'll need to set up an account with workload factory and log in using one of the console experiences.

Set up your environment to meet GenAI requirements

You'll need AWS credentials to deploy the AWS infrastructure, a deployed and discovered FSx for ONTAP file system, the list of data sources that you want to integrate in your knowledge base or connector, access to the Amazon Bedrock AI service or Amazon Q Business application, and more.

Learn more about GenAI requirements.

Identify the FSx for ONTAP file system that contains the data sources

The data sources that you'll integrate in your knowledge base can be located on a single FSx for ONTAP file system, or on multiple FSx for ONTAP file systems. If these systems are in different VPCs, they must either be accessible within the same network, or the VPCs must be peered and using the same region and AWS account as the AI engine.

Learn how to identify data sources.

Deploy the GenAI infrastructure

Launch the infrastructure deployment wizard to deploy the GenAI infrastructure in your AWS environment. This process deploys an EC2 instance for the NetApp GenAI engine, and a volume on an FSx for ONTAP file system to contain the NetApp AI Engine databases. The volume is used to store the vector database used by the knowledge base.
