Chapter 3: Exploring Kubernetes
Now that you have seen that Kubernetes will form the basis of your machine learning (ML) platform, it's logical to refresh your knowledge of the underlying bedrock of our solution. Though there are many resources available on the internet on this topic of Kubernetes, we will briefly discuss the role of Kubernetes in the cloud era and the flexibility it provides for building solutions. You will also learn about Operators in Kubernetes and how they help simplify the installation and operation of Kubernetes workloads. By the end of this chapter, you will have built a running minikube instance either in your local machine or in the cloud. This is a single-node Kubernetes cluster that you will use as the base infrastructure to build and run the ML platform.
In this particular order, we will cover the following topics:
- Exploring Kubernetes major components
- Becoming cloud-agnostic through Kubernetes
- Understanding Operators
- Setting...
