Cross-cutting
Training
Every MTTL course moves in the same order. You start by framing the problem, then move to practice, pick what is worth measuring, and finish with an action plan for running it at scale. A lesson reads in one sitting. Courses with labs instrument a real stack, and every lab starts with docker compose up; others, such as “Understanding HPC” or the CIO path, need no code.
Your progress
Section titled “Your progress”Your progress is stored in this browser and nowhere else. Every multi-lesson course ends with a quiz; programmes still in preparation do not have one yet.
- Understanding generative AI observability
- LLM observability: the labs
- GenAI observability method
- Understanding high performance computing
- HPC AI: observability and security reference architecture
- Governing observability: the CIO path
- VictoriaMetrics as an LLM observability backend
A lesson counts as read once you have scrolled through 80% of it, kept it open for more than 30 seconds, or ticked “Mark as read”. This information stays in your browser.
AI observability
Section titled “AI observability”Observing LLMs, agents and RAG systems in production: answer quality, drift, cost and regulatory evidence. The courses follow a progression: understand (the guide), practise (the labs), master (the method), then go beyond the LLM.
HPC and GPUs
Section titled “HPC and GPUs”Understanding, observing and securing the compute clusters AI is trained on.
Governance and steering
Section titled “Governance and steering”For decision makers: funding, governing, complying and steering observability.
Open source stacks and tools
Section titled “Open source stacks and tools”Getting hands-on with one component of the observability stack, from installation to operations.
Where to start
Section titled “Where to start”For generative AI, the content follows a progression: discover (AI in cross-section), understand (the guide), practise (the LLM labs), go to production (the playbooks, then VictoriaMetrics for LLMs), master (the GenAI method), go beyond (GPUs and model quality). The profiles below enter it at different points.
| You are | Start with | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Platform engineer or SRE new to AI | AI in cross-section, then Understanding generative AI observability | The LLM labs, then the deployment playbooks and VictoriaMetrics for LLMs |
| ML engineer or MLOps | Understanding generative AI observability, then the LLM labs | GenAI method, then Beyond the LLM |
| Architect | AI in cross-section, then Understanding generative AI observability | Deployment playbooks, VictoriaMetrics for LLMs, GenAI method; HPC AI if you run GPUs |
| HPC administrator | HPC AI: reference architecture | HPC observability |
| CIO, leadership, finance | CIO path | Exposure calculator, GenAI method parts V to VII |
| Team manager | CIO path, lessons 3 and 5 | Alert fatigue simulator |
Revised on 4 October 2026: “Where to start” table aligned with the progression of the generative AI content (guide before the method, labs, production, beyond the LLM).
