Why should you care?

Teams fail when demos cannot survive deploy, load, or outages.

See it live — copy this example

Run CLI steps in a terminal. Run C# samples in a .NET 8 console or Web API project with Ollama running on localhost:11434.

# Backup and Model Artifact DR — ops / design checklist
# 1) Health: curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
# 2) App health endpoint returns ollama_ok=true
# 3) Document model id + hardware minimums for Backup and Model Artifact DR

What happened?

• Check Ollama health, expose app health, and write down model/hardware needs for this topic.
• Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

1. Read the example and rewrite it in your own repo.
2. Run it against local Ollama (or finish the Ollama module first).
3. Change one prompt constraint and compare output.
4. Tighten the prompt to 3 bullets max.
5. Log duration of the model call.

Remember

You can explain Backup and Model Artifact DR simply. You have a runnable local sketch. You know one risk to watch.

Backup and Model Artifact DR in LocalAIDesk

Your team applies backup and model artifact dr while building a private agent desk.

Outcome: A concrete next step exists in code or checklist form.
