AI Infrastructure Track
The AI Infrastructure Track prepares students to design, build, and manage the modern systems behind AI deployment. Across three hands-on courses, students progress from foundational networking to full cloud ‑native‑ orchestration, gaining the practical skills needed to support real-world AI workloads.
AI Networking Fundamentals
Course 1 of 3
Build the backbone of tomorrow’s AI. This 10-week, hands-on course builds the essential networking foundation required for modern AI systems. Students being directly in ‑their own virtual network environment, learning core concepts like IP addressing, routing, DNS, DHCP, and using firewalls for security. Develop troubleshooting and management skills using professional tools. The course ends with students beginning their journey to designing an AI network architecture by deploying a full monitoring stack that will be used in their “AI Incubator” environment.
Ideal for: Junior System Administrators and IT Technicians wanting to deepen their networking knowledge.· Help Desk professionals aiming to move into Network Operations or DevOps. Linux enthusiasts who want to understand how to connect and secure Linux systems.
Prerequisite Skills
This course is fast-paced and hands-on. To ensure success, students should have:
Basic Computer Literacy: Comfortable working with operating systems (like Xubuntu) and navigating a desktop interface.
Fundamental Networking Awareness: A conceptual understanding of what an IP address is, what a router does, and the difference between the Internet and a Local Area Network (LAN).
Introductory Command Line Experience: Familiarity with opening a terminal and running basic commands (like ls, cd, or mkdir). You do not need to be a Linux expert, but you should not be afraid of the command line.
Logical & Mathematical Aptitude: Ability to perform basic binary math calculations (essential for understanding subnetting).
Troubleshooting Mindset: The patience and curiosity to investigate why something isn't working and the persistence to try different solutions.
Additional Courses in AI Infrastructure Track:
2: Linux & Cloud Foundations 7/13/26 - 10/4/26 or 8/31/26 - 11/22/26
3: AI Infrastructure & Security 7/27/26 - 10/25/26 or 11/23/26 - 2/21/27
