Kubeflow for Machine Learning: From Lab to Production

If you're training a machine learning model but aren't sure how to put it into production, this book will get you there. Kubeflow provides a collection of cloud native tools for different stages of a model's lifecycle, from data exploration, feature preparation, and model training to model serving. This guide helps data scientists build production-grade machine learning implementations with Kubeflow and shows data engineers how to make models scalable and reliable.

Using examples throughout the book, authors Holden Karau, Trevor Grant, Ilan Filonenko, Richard Liu, and Boris Lublinsky explain how to use Kubeflow to train and serve your machine learning models on top of Kubernetes in the cloud or in a development environment on-premises.

• Understand Kubeflow's design, core components, and the problems it solves
• Learn how to set up Kubeflow on a cloud provider or on an in-house cluster
• Train models using Kubeflow with popular tools including scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and Apache Spark
• Learn how to add custom stages such as serving and prediction
• Keep your model up-to-date with Kubeflow Pipelines
• Understand how to validate machine learning pipelines

如果您正在訓練一個機器學習模型，但不確定如何將其投入生產，這本書將幫助您達到目標。Kubeflow提供了一系列的雲原生工具，用於模型的生命周期的不同階段，從數據探索、特徵準備和模型訓練到模型服務。本指南幫助數據科學家使用Kubeflow構建生產級的機器學習實現，並向數據工程師展示如何使模型具有可擴展性和可靠性。

在整本書中，作者Holden Karau、Trevor Grant、Ilan Filonenko、Richard Liu和Boris Lublinsky解釋了如何使用Kubeflow在雲端或本地開發環境中，在Kubernetes之上訓練和提供機器學習模型。書中使用了許多示例，讓讀者更好地理解如何使用Kubeflow。

以下是本書的主要內容：
- 了解Kubeflow的設計、核心組件以及它所解決的問題
- 學習如何在雲端提供商或內部集群上設置Kubeflow
- 使用Kubeflow和流行工具（如scikit-learn、TensorFlow和Apache Spark）訓練模型
- 學習如何添加自定義階段，如服務和預測
- 使用Kubeflow Pipelines保持模型的最新狀態
- 了解如何驗證機器學習流程

這本書將幫助讀者深入了解Kubeflow，並提供實用的指導，使他們能夠在生產環境中成功應用機器學習模型。

Trevor Grant is a member of the Apache Software Foundation, and is heavily involved in the Apache Mahout, Apache Streams, and Community Development projects. He often tinkers and occasionally documents his (mis)adventures at www.rawkintrevo.org. In the before time, he was an international speaker on technology, but now he focuses mainly on writing. Trevor wishes to thank IBM for their continued patronage of his artistic endeavors. He lives in Chicago because it's the best city on the planet, with world class food, parks, and culture, and because the skies are never orange.

Holden Karau is a queer transgender Canadian, Apache Spark committer, Apache Software Foundation member, and an active open source contributor. She also extends her passion for building community with industry projects including Scaling for Python for ML and teaching distributed computing to children. As a software engineer, she's worked on a variety of distributed compute, search, and classification problems at Google, IBM, Alpine, Databricks, Foursquare, and Amazon. She graduated from the University of Waterloo with a bachelor of mathematics in computer science. Outside of software she enjoys playing with fire, welding, riding scooters, eating poutine, and dancing.
