This guide contains outdated information pertaining to Kubeflow 1.0. This guide needs to be updated for Kubeflow 1.1.A production-ready, full-fledged, local Kubeflow deployment that installs in minutes.
MiniKF is a fast and easy way to get started with Kubeflow. With just a few clicks, you are up for experimentation, and for running complete Kubeflow Pipelines.
To train at scale, move to a Kubeflow cloud deployment with one click, without having to rewrite anything.
Please see the official announcement and the rationale behind MiniKF.
