Deploying Kubeflow on Existing Clusters
Follow these instructions if you want to install Kubeflow on an existing Kubernetes cluster. Some clouds and Kubernetes distributions provide Kubeflow specific instructions for getting the most out of their Kubernetes. If your existing Kubernetes cluster is from one of those, consider following those instructions.
Minimum system requirements
The Kubernetes cluster must meet the following minimum requirements:
Your cluster must include at least one worker node with a minimum of:
- 4 CPU
- 50 GB storage
- 12 GB memory
The recommended Kubernetes version is 1.14. Kubeflow has been validated and tested on Kubernetes 1.14.
- Your cluster must run at least Kubernetes version 1.11.
- Kubeflow does not work on Kubernetes 1.16.
- Older versions of Kubernetes may not be compatible with the latest Kubeflow versions. The following matrix
provides information about compatibility between Kubeflow and Kubernetes versions.
| Kubernetes Versions | Kubeflow 0.4 | Kubeflow 0.5 | Kubeflow 0.6 | Kubeflow 0.7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.11 | compatible | compatible | incompatible | incompatible |
| 1.12 | compatible | compatible | incompatible | incompatible |
| 1.13 | compatible | compatible | incompatible | incompatible |
| 1.14 | compatible | compatible | compatible | compatible |
| 1.15 | incompatible | compatible | compatible | compatible |
| 1.16 | incompatible | incompatible | incompatible | incompatible |
Kubeflow Deployment Configurations
The following tables list the options for installing Kubeflow on an existing Kubernetes Cluster and links to detailed instructions.
Community maintained
This section includes vendor-neutral solutions governed by community consensus. Below deployment configs are maintained and supported by the community.
| Deployment config | Description |
|---|---|
| kfctl_k8s_istio.yaml | This config creates a vanilla deployment of Kubeflow with all its core components without any external dependencies. The deployment can be customized based on your environment needs. Follow instructions: Kubeflow Deployment with kfctl_k8s_istio |
Vendor maintained
This section includes the deployment solutions that are supported by specific vendors/providers.
| Deployment config | Description | Maintainer/Supporter |
|---|---|---|
| kfctl_existing_arrikto.yaml | This config creates a Kubeflow deployment with all its core components, and uses Dex and Istio for vendor-neutral authentication. Follow instructions: Multi-user, auth-enabled Kubeflow with kfctl_existing_arrikto |
