What is Kubeflow
Kubeflow is the foundation of tools for AI Platforms on Kubernetes.
AI platform teams can build on top of Kubeflow by using each project independently or deploying the entire AI reference platform to meet their specific needs. The Kubeflow AI reference platform is composable, modular, portable, and scalable, backed by an ecosystem of Kubernetes-native projects that cover every stage of the AI lifecycle.
Whether you’re an AI practitioner, a platform administrator, or a team of developers, Kubeflow offers modular, scalable, and extensible tools to support your AI use cases.
Please refer to the official documentation for more information.
What are Kubeflow Projects
Kubeflow is composed of multiple open source projects that address different aspects of the AI lifecycle. These projects are designed to be usable both independently and as part of the Kubeflow AI reference platform. This provides flexibility for users who may not need the full end-to-end AI platform capabilities but want to leverage specific functionalities, such as model training or model serving.
What is the Kubeflow AI Reference Platform
The Kubeflow AI reference platform refers to the full suite of Kubeflow projects bundled together with additional integration and management tools. Kubeflow AI reference platform deploys the comprehensive toolkit for the entire AI lifecycle. The Kubeflow AI reference platform can be installed via Packaged Distributions or Kubeflow Manifests.
