Introduction to Kubeflow

01-Installation.md

Installation of Kubeflow Pipelines

The best guide to install Kubeflow or any of its components is the official documentation.

https://www.kubeflow.org/docs/started/

In this tutorial, we will learn how to Install, Configure and Use the most popular component of Kubeflow that is KFP (Kubeflow Pipelines).

Step 1: Install Docker Desktop

Follow the below guide and follow the steps according to your OS Distribution.

https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/install/mac-install/

Step 2: Install KIND

Easy way to learn Kubeflow Pipelines is to setup a KIND k8s cluster and configure Kubeflow Pipelines on the cluster.

https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/

Step 3: Install KFP in Kubernertes

Follow the steps to setup KFP.

https://www.kubeflow.org/docs/components/pipelines/operator-guides/installation/

Step 4: Install Python kfp package

1. Create a folder - mkdir kfp
2. Create a Python virtual environment - python3 -m venv .kfp
3. Source the virtual environment - source .kfp/bin/activate
4. Install the package - pip3 install kfp==2.9.0

02-hello_pipeline.py

from kfp import dsl
from kfp import compiler

# Define a simple component using a Python function
@dsl.component
def say_hello(name: str) -> str:
    """A simple component that says hello to a given name."""
    hello_text = f'Hello, {name}!'
    print(hello_text)
    return hello_text

# Define the pipeline using the @dsl.pipeline decorator
@dsl.pipeline(
    name="hello-world-pipeline",
    description="A basic pipeline that prints a greeting."
)
def hello_pipeline(recipient: str = "World") -> str:  # Add a default value
    """This pipeline runs the say_hello component."""
    hello_task = say_hello(name=recipient)
    return hello_task.output  # Return the output of the component

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Compile the pipeline into a YAML file
    compiler.Compiler().compile(hello_pipeline, 'hello_world_pipeline.yaml')

    # To run the pipeline, you would typically use the Kubeflow Pipelines UI
    # or the KFP SDK Client if you have a running Kubeflow Pipelines backend:
    # from kfp.client import Client
    # client = Client(host='<YOUR-KFP-ENDPOINT>')  # Replace with your endpoint
    # run = client.create_run_from_pipeline_func(hello_pipeline, arguments={'recipient': 'Kubeflow'})
    # print(f"Pipeline run details: {run}")

import kfp
from kfp import dsl

# Step 1: Load data into memory and return as lists

# Step 2: Train model and return accuracy

    from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
    from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score

    X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(features, labels, test_size=0.2)

    clf = RandomForestClassifier()
    clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
    y_pred = clf.predict(X_test)
    acc = accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred)

    print(f"Model accuracy: {acc}")
    return (acc,)

# Step 3: Define the pipeline
@dsl.pipeline(
    name="iris-no-artifacts-pipeline",
    description="ML pipeline without file artifacts, returns accuracy."
)
def iris_pipeline():
    data = load_data()
    train_model(
        features=data.outputs["features"],
        labels=data.outputs["labels"]
    )

# Step 4: Compile
if __name__ == "__main__":
    kfp.compiler.Compiler().compile(
        pipeline_func=iris_pipeline,
        package_path="iris_pipeline.yaml"
    )

Hey, I am having issues deploying kubeflow pipelines as when i check on my pods using

kubectl get pods -n kubeflow

Most of the pods go to CrashLoopBackOff and the minio pod goes into ImagePullBackOff
I tried searching about the logs I got and found that the minio ImagePullBackOff is due to recent changes where minio stopped publishing prebuilt docker images.

I dont know how to resolve this, can anyone help?

ya i also got error with my arch being arm64, alls pods crashloopbackoff error
