Study Databricks GENAI-ASSOC App Deployment: key concepts, common traps, and exam decision cues.
This chapter turns development into a deployable Databricks solution. The exam tests packaging, retrieval infrastructure, serving routes, governed registration, endpoint access, prompt lifecycle, and newer MCP integration patterns.
| Lesson | Focus |
|---|---|
| 4.1 Pyfunc & RAG | Learn the basic packaged components of a deployable RAG application. |
| 4.2 Vector Search & Serving | Learn retrieval and serving infrastructure choices. |
| 4.3 UC, Endpoints & Memory | Learn how governed registration, endpoint access, and persistent state fit together. |
| 4.4 CI/CD, MCP & Interfaces | Learn the operational patterns that move the app across environments and into real use. |
