Milvus Powered by GlobalSolutions

Milvus is an open-source vector database designed to handle and search massive amounts of vector data, typically generated by machine learning models. It excels in similarity searches, making it perfect for applications like recommendation systems, image and audio similarity searches, and fraud detection. Milvus is renowned for its high performance, scalability, and capacity to manage billions of vectors.

At GlobalSolutions, we have packaged the Milvus database to enable our customers to start quickly without the need to build, package, or deploy it themselves. We have ensured the image is hardened to be secured from all existing vulnerabilities.

Getting Started with Milvus

Milvus is deployed as a containerized stack and starts automatically when the EC2 instance boots. All necessary tools to connect, create collections, and manage data are pre-installed.

Activating the Virtual Environment

A Python virtual environment named connection has been pre-created with all relevant tools. A sample con.py program is provided under home/ubuntu/connection/connection. Follow these steps to get started:

Log in to the EC2 instance using SSH.
Navigate to the connection/connection folder from the home directory.
Activate the virtual environment:
```
source ./bin/activate
```

This command places you inside the virtual environment where all Milvus tools are available. The sample con.py program can connect to the Milvus DB and can be extended for additional actions.

Connecting Using the Milvus CLI

With the Milvus CLI you can create databases, collections, fields, and more. Ensure you are in the connection virtual environment, then start the CLI with:

~/home/ubuntu/connection/connection/milvus_cli

Once the CLI prompt opens, use the following basic commands:

connect — Connects to the Milvus database.
list databases — Lists all databases.
create database -db name — Creates a new database (replace name with your preferred name).
use database-name — Switches to the specified database.
create collection — Guides you through creating a collection (similar to a table or schema in a SQL database).
