Installing Kubeflow

Deployment options for Kubeflow

Kubeflow is an end-to-end Machine Learning (ML) platform for Kubernetes, it provides components for each stage in the ML lifecycle, from exploration through to training and deployment. Operators can choose what is best for their users, there is no requirement to deploy every component. To read more about the components and architecture of Kubeflow, please see the Kubeflow Architecture page.

There are two pathways to get up and running with Kubeflow, you may either:

Use a packaged distribution
Use the manifests (advanced)

Install the Kubeflow Manifests manually

This method is for advanced users. The Kubeflow community will not support environment-specific issues. If you need support, please consider using a packaged distribution of Kubeflow.

The Manifests Working Group is responsible for aggregating the authoritative manifests of each official Kubeflow component. While these manifests are intended to be the base of packaged distributions, advanced users may choose to install them directly by following these instructions.
