This is mostly an ad for Nvidia products, very little actual information well covered with numerous amount of BS like "unprecedented performance" and such.

I thought I would study more, and I did, but the course is mainly just marketing a bunch of fancy Nvidia hardware.

A very good course for beginners and i felt somewhat easy and i felt some tougher areas in the course cause mostly its full of Nvidia product advertisement , thats the reason behind the 4 stars. But overall it is a very good course .

I couldn't believe but this really is Nvidia's entire official self-paced "AI Infrastructure and Operations Fundamentals" course worth 50$ on Nvidia's website, here completely free! I even bought the original course before I found this one. Coursera's smartphone app makes it even better since you can project this course to your TV and watch the videos in your living room watching and summarizing the videos. Nvidia doesn't have a learning smartphone app. The new AIIO Associate level certification was launched in 2024 to provide enterprise professionals with essential training on the infrastructure and operational aspects of AI and accelerated computing. To pass the exam I recommend watching YouTube videos on AI infrastructure and Nvidia and Nvidia Developers channel's videos on the different products: GPUs, servers (DGX, etc) networking hardware, software, and especially Data Center management software. Plus read the spec sheet PDFs, read the articles, and review Nvidia's official Study Guide. The more you watch and read the better you remember and understand the huge software stack, ML models, model names, specs, and how they look and feel. For those passing the Associate level Infrastructure and Operations certification, in 2025 Nvidia introduced 3 higher Professional level certifications that might become your next challenge: 1. NVIDIA-Certified Professional: AI Infrastructure ( for System Administrators) 2. NVIDIA-Certified Professional: AI Operations (for DevOps) 3. NVIDIA-Certified Professional: InfiniBand (for Network Administrators) Good luck!

It's a very good training course, which gave me a brief idea how to setup a system in data center at a high level.

Do not worry if one of your practice quizzes or modules do not grade. The last course completion quiz will complete the course for you even if any of those modules or quizzes do not grade and you will still be able to obtain your certificate. Other than that, the information provided in the course is quite interesting and will make you want to research more about the topics outside of the course.

pretty easy, interesting and informational course to watch one night with a cup of tea.

Coursera is the best Courses Online that give knowledge and skill above average

Great AI infrastructure knowledge foundation

This course is very helpful..

It says "beginners" but actually after Module 1, it becomes quite technical and detailed oriented. I would have appreciated more generalist overview of the mentionned topics. Also it focuses too much on Nvidia products.

Interesting content and balance between general concepts and Nvidia advertisement is ok. However, it is clearly written and spoken by AI, which is on topic, but makes this a fairly boring listen.

Great to learn a little bit about AI clusters and how they are deployed. A lot of open-source tools also are mentioned here so that's a big win.

Excellent certicication related material including study guides, quizzes and final exam. Thank you so much for designing a comprehensive course. I used the Coursera BOT "Coach" a lot to understand the concepts and found the answers informative. Overall, a great learning experience!

Operational usage of Gen AI with/in real world and with discreet industry has explained in detailed and precise manner. GPU/CPU/HPC/Cluster (cloud)/Data Foundations is nicely explained and depicted.

Exceptional course for those who desire to understanding the real plumbing behind AI and its many applications. The breathe of products behind Nvidia is impressive.

Very helpful for both broad industry knowledge as well as idiosyncrasies of systems. Solid base to more quickly parse other AI concepts.

A very Good Course for Core Infrastructure and Datacenter Management personnel who wants to know the fundamentals of AI Infrastructure.

Knowing how different vendors (and Nvidia, the pioneer) want to evolve and solve AI is a great lesson. This is the future.

Good overview courses on AI infrastructure. I understand the Nvidia AI infrastructure portfolio better now than before.

Good for covering the basics. I needed this to update myself on the infrastructure and operations management for AI

Excellent course with in-depth discussion on infrastructure requirements and available alternatives.

for a non technical guy like me, was quite hard but in the end, everything worked out and I passed.

Excellent course. I learned lot and it will definitely help me in AI/ML Architect role.

Nice Course By NVIDIA to attract enthusiastic youth towards Artificial Intelligence
