Kubeflow provides a foundation of tools for building and deploying AI platforms on Kubernetes, supporting the entire AI lifecycle.

Kubeflow is an open-source project that offers a collection of tools designed to enable AI platform teams to build and manage machine learning workflows on Kubernetes. It allows for independent use of its projects or deployment of a complete AI reference platform. The platform is composable, modular, portable, and scalable, leveraging a Kubernetes-native ecosystem for various stages of the AI lifecycle. Key components include Kubeflow Spark Operator for running Spark applications, Kubeflow Notebooks for interactive development environments, Kubeflow Trainer for scalable LLM fine-tuning and model training, Kubeflow Katib for automated machine learning (AutoML), Kubeflow KServe for generative and predictive AI inference, Kubeflow Model Registry for model management, and Kubeflow Pipelines for building and deploying ML workflows.
