Personas
Arize has two key personas: the Arize Installer, typically a DevOps or Cloud Engineer responsible for installing and managing Arize in the VPC environment, and the Arize User, such as an ML or LLM Engineer, who monitors and evaluates AI models or agents using the platform. While the Installer handles setup and troubleshooting, the User focuses on performance insights and improving AI processes.
Installation Flow
The Arize installation is simplified with the use of a Helm Chart and the Arize Operator. The installation flow consists of:- An Operator Helm Chart which creates the necessary namespaces and roles and then bootstraps the Operator pod. It includes the configuration parameters for the Arize deployment. These parameters are derived from a
values.yamlfile that the user has crafted and tailored to the environment. - The Arize Operator which based on the configuration parameters applies the manifests and builds the Arize deployment.
- The arize.sh utility script which assists the user in performing some of the tasks like transferring Arize images to an internal Docker registry (if applicable) and calling Helm to deploy the chart. Note that the user can also call Helm directly if preferred.
