What is Kubeflow?
Kubeflow streamlines the deployment and management of artificial intelligence and machine learning processes on Kubernetes, enhancing portability and scalability. It provides an integrated ecosystem of Kubernetes-native components designed to support each phase of the AI/ML lifecycle, incorporating best-in-class open-source tools and frameworks.
This platform facilitates running ML workflows anywhere Kubernetes is available. Key components include Pipelines for workflow orchestration, Notebooks for web-based development environments, a Central Dashboard for unified access, Trainer for model training and fine-tuning (including LLMs), Katib for AutoML tasks like hyperparameter tuning, and KServe for production model serving across various frameworks.
