What is Kubeflow?

Kubeflow is the open source machine learning MLOps platform

Kubeflow enables you to develop and deploy machine learning models at any scale. It is a cloud-native application that runs on any cloud.

Charmed Kubeflow is Canonical’s distribution. It is secure and seamlessly integrated with other leading tools such as MLflow.

What's inside Kubeflow?

Kubeflow dashboard

Central dashboard with multi-user isolation provides a platform for data scientists and engineers to leverage K8s to develop, deploy and monitor their models in production.

JupyterLab and VSCode

With Kubeflow users can spin-up Jupyter notebook servers but also VSCode directly from the dashboard, allocating the right storage, CPUs and GPUs.

ML libraries & frameworks

Kubeflow is compatible with your choice of data science libraries and frameworks. TensorFlow, PyTorch, MXNet, XGBoost, scikit-learn and more.

Kubeflow Pipelines

Automate your ML workflow into pipelines by containerizing steps as pipeline components and defining inputs, outputs, parameters and generated artifacts. Learn more ›

Experiments, Runs and Recurring Runs

Experiments, groups of Kubeflow Pipeline 'Runs' and Recurring Runs, allow you to find the right parameters for your model, compare and replicate results.

Hyperparameter tuning / AutoML

Kubeflow includes Katib for hyperparameter tuning. Katib runs pipelines with different hyperparameters (e.g. learning rate, # of hidden layers) optimising for the best ML model.

KServe for inference serving

KServe is a multi-framework model deployment tool with serverless inferencing, canary roll-outs, pre & post-processing and explainability. Learn more ›

The integrations you need

Charmed Kubeflow integrates with MLFlow for model registry, staging, and monitoring in production, Seldon Core for inference serving and Apache Spark for parallel data processing.

More...

Save, compare and share generated artifacts - models, images, plots.

MLOps at any scale

Enterprise-ready Charmed Kubeflow, the fully supported MLOps platform for any cloud, is validate and certified on high-end AI hardware, such as NVIDIA DGX.

A complete solution for sophisticated data science labs. Upgrades and security updates - all supported in the free, open source distribution.

Why MLOps?

Bringing AI solutions to market can involve many steps: data pre-processing, training, model deployment or inference serving at scale... The list of tasks is complex and keeping them in a set of notebooks or scripts is hard to maintain, share and collaborate on, leading to inefficient processes.

Google describes that only about 20% of the effort and code required to bring AI systems to production is the development of ML code, while the remaining is operations. Standardizing ops in your ML workflows can hence greatly decrease time-to-market and costs for your AI solutions.

Who uses Kubeflow?

Thousands of companies have chosen Kubeflow for their AI/ML stack.

From research institutions like CERN, to transport and logistics companies - Uber, Lyft, GoJek - to financial and media industries with Spotify, Bloomberg, Shopify and PayPal.

Forward-looking enterprises are using Kubeflow to empower their data scientists.
