Kubeflow
Kubernetes-native open-source platform for deploying, scaling, and managing ML workflows.
Kubeflow orchestrates ML workflows on Kubernetes with pipelines, AutoML, and model serving – ideal for large infrastructures.
Explanation
Kubeflow provides Pipelines (workflow orchestration), Katib (hyperparameter tuning), KFServing (model serving), and Notebooks on Kubernetes infrastructure.
Marketing Relevance
Kubeflow is the standard ML platform for Kubernetes-centric organizations.
Common Pitfalls
High complexity due to Kubernetes dependency. Steep learning curve. Overhead for small teams.
Origin & History
Google released Kubeflow in 2017 based on internal ML infrastructure experience. Version 1.0 was released in 2020. The project became part of CNCF and evolved into the standard ML platform for Kubernetes environments.
Comparisons & Differences
Kubeflow vs. MLflow
