An Easier Way: Chat to Deploy Llama2 with Walrus

In the previous blog, we explored how to deploy Llama2 on AWS with Walrus. In this blog, we will introduce an AI tool, Appilot, to simplify the deployment.

Appilot ['æpaɪlət] stands for application-pilot. It is an experimental project that helps you operate applications using GPT-like LLMs. Appilot empowers users to execute tasks such as application management, environment management, diagnose, and hybrid infrastructure orchestration seamlessly through natural language commands.

Prerequisites

  • Get OpenAI API key with access to the gpt-4 model.
  • Install python3 and make.
  • Install kubectl and helm.
  • Have a running Kubernetes cluster.

Install Appilot

  • Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/seal-io/appilot && cd appilot
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Run the following command to get the envfile.
cp .env.example .env
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Edit the .env file and fill in OPENAI_API_KEY.

  • Run the following command to install. It will create a venv and install required dependencies.

make install
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Using Walrus Backend

Walrus serves as the application management engine. It provides features like hybrid infrastructure support, environment management, etc. To enable Walrus backend, you need to install Walrus firstly and edit the envfile:

1.Set TOOLKITS=walrus
