Just started a new side project as part of my AZ-400 preparation:

Self-Hosted LLM Sentiment Analysis Platform on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

The goal is to build a complete end-to-end solution with:

  • A Flask Sentiment API
  • A clean LLM Adapter layer
  • Ollama (phi3:mini) running inside the AKS cluster
  • Terraform for IaC
  • Traefik Ingress via Helm
  • Multi-stage Azure DevOps YAML pipeline

I will first test this by running scripts in the Whizlabs sandbox, after that I will automate this via an Azure DevOps pipeline.

This is a great opportunity to combine my daily DevOps work with knowledge from AZ-104, AZ-204 and AI-102, moving from an external Microsoft endpoint to a fully self-hosted AI workload.

I'll share the progress and key learnings as I go.
