Use this page to understand how to serve Poolside models from your GPU-backed Red Hat OpenShift cluster. You provision the OpenShift cluster and supporting services, including object storage and a container registry. Poolside provides the deployment bundle, which contains the Helm chart that deploys the Poolside inference workloads. The model checkpoints are provided separately. You deploy the inference chart, expose each model through its own OpenShift Route, and call the OpenAI-compatible API.
Architecture
This deployment includes:
- One
DeploymentandServiceper model. Each model server downloads its checkpoint from S3 on startup and serves an OpenAI-compatible API. - Each model is exposed at its own hostname through an OpenShift Route that routes directly to its vLLM service.
- Optionally, the Poolside documentation site, deployed in-cluster from the bundle. See Set up offline documentation.
You are responsible for sending requests to the inference endpoints and for any authentication or routing in front of them.
