Single 8-hour lab VM instead of Six 1-hour labs? #36

Closed tylerfarmer1 closed 7 months ago

tylerfarmer1 commented 7 months ago

The AI-050 has 6 labs, which are rather similar from the code boiler-plate perspective. The lab hoster (Skillable) has these as 6 separate labs, each only allows the VM to run for 60-90 minutes. It wastes a lot of time for 1-day class. You have to boot up each lab, then re-download the lab files, re-install any packages for Python, build a new OpenAI environment and then deploy a model... Like 10-15 minutes for each lab.

Is there any discussion about making this just one 8-hour VM environment so we only have to build everything once, and can then just work through the code for each lab?

It's a requirement to be modular labs for various delivery methodologies and necessary for recycling of AOAI approved subscriptions, so unfortunately a single lab environment isn't possible.
