🚀 Day 17 of 100 Days of GenAI for DevOps — Understanding vLLM

Running an LLM on your laptop is one thing.

Serving that LLM efficiently to hundreds or thousands of users is a completely different challenge.

In Day 17 of 100 Days of GenAI for DevOps, we explore vLLM, an open-source LLM serving framework designed for fast and efficient inference.

In this session, we cover:

🔹 Why we need a dedicated LLM serving framework
🔹 What happens when multiple users send requests to an LLM
🔹 How vLLM improves LLM inference and throughput
🔹 Running an LLM using vLLM
🔹 Exposing the model through an OpenAI-compatible API
🔹 Why all of this matters for DevOps and AI infrastructure engineers

The goal of this series is not just to learn GenAI concepts.

It is to understand the infrastructure behind GenAI applications: GPUs, inference, model serving, Kubernetes, observability, scalability, and eventually how all these pieces fit together in production.
