Kubeflow is an open-source machine learning (ML) toolkit designed to simplify the deployment and management of ML workflows on Kubernetes. It provides a comprehensive platform for the entire ML lifecycle, from experimentation and development to training, deployment, and monitoring.
* **Experimentation:** Kubeflow Notebooks provide a cloud-based Jupyter Notebook environment for interactive development and experimentation. * **Training:** Kubeflow Pipelines enable the creation and orchestration of ML pipelines, automating the training and tuning of ML models. * **Deployment:** Kubeflow Serving simplifies the deployment and management of ML models, making them accessible for inference. * **Monitoring:** Kubeflow provides tools for monitoring the performance and health of deployed models.
While Kubeflow configuration involves Kubernetes manifests and custom resources, here's an illustrative example of a Kubeflow Pipelines component definition:
```yaml apiVersion: kubeflow.org/v1 kind: Component metadata:
name: preprocess-dataspec:
implementation: container: image: my-org/preprocess-data:latest command: - python - preprocess.py args: - --input-path - {inputValue: input_data} - --output-path - {outputPath: preprocessed_data}```
This configuration defines a Kubeflow Pipelines component named “preprocess-data” that executes a Python script to preprocess data. The component takes an input parameter `input_data` and produces an output artifact `preprocessed_data`.
