The VAST Certified AI Platform Architect credential proves you can turn a prepared VAST Data Platform into AI-ready data and services. Sitting in the layer between infrastructure administration and AI/application development, certified AI Platform Architects design enterprise schemas, map and ingest data, build Data Engine functions, and stand up foundational AI pipelines — vectorization, classification, search, and basic RAG/chatbots — so their organization can actually consume VAST for AI. Built for data architects, AI architects, data scientists, DBAs, and data-focused DevOps engineers.
