NEW! Now with Kubeflow 1.4!

Create a PyTorch distributed job from inside your notebook using Kale and Kubeflow. Distributed training made easier than ever.

Create an AutoML workflow with the click of a button. Start from a dataset, define a task, then discover, train, and optimize a model from inside your notebook automagically.

  • Allow users to define a container and entrypoint for a pipeline step, built using Kale.
  • Integrate Kale with the PyTorch distributed training operator to enable users to run distributed PyTorch training jobs.
  • Extend Kale to support running conditionals with the outputs of the pipeline steps.
  • Enable users to make predictions using an existing KF Serving Inference Service via the Kale API.
  • Support a default automatic snapshot policy for notebooks so data scientists don’t accidentally lose work.
  • Ability to view notebook servers across all namespaces in the Notebooks UI.
  • Monitor the last activity of the notebook servers.
  • Configurable way to stop idle notebook servers automatically.
  • Enable users to mount an existing volume to a notebook server.
  • Automatic log gathering process.
  • Ability to present a notebook programmatically.
  • Fully automated process for snapshotting all notebooks in a Kubeflow cluster and publishing them to Rok Registry.
  • Fully automated process for restoring all notebooks of a Rok bucket.
  • Support for ReadWriteMany (RWX) volumes.
  • Protect critical Rok data from EBS failure or user error.
  • Support Istio authorization to EKF resources based on groups inherited from the identity provider.
  • Introduce an option to disable the auto-profile creation so that users don’t have their own namespace, but only be members of a shared namespace.
