This folder contains Kubeflow Pipelines Standalone Kustomize manifests.

Kubeflow Pipelines Standalone is one option to install Kubeflow Pipelines. You can review all other options in Installation Options for Kubeflow Pipelines.

To install Kubeflow Pipelines Standalone, follow Kubeflow Pipelines Standalone Deployment documentation.

There are environment specific installation instructions not covered in the official deployment documentation, they are listed below.

Install:

KFP_ENV=platform-agnostic
kubectl apply -k cluster-scoped-resources/
kubectl wait crd/applications.app.k8s.io --for condition=established --timeout=60s
kubectl apply -k "env/${KFP_ENV}/"
kubectl wait pods -l application-crd-id=kubeflow-pipelines -n kubeflow --for condition=Ready --timeout=1800s
kubectl port-forward -n kubeflow svc/ml-pipeline-ui 8080:80

Now you can access Kubeflow Pipelines UI in your browser by http://localhost:8080.

Customize:

There are two variations for platform-agnostic that uses different argo workflow executors:

• env/platform-agnostic-emissary
• env/platform-agnostic-pns

You can install them by changing KFP_ENV in above instructions to the variation you want.

Data:

Application data are persisted in in-cluster PersistentVolumeClaim storage.

Cloud Storage and Cloud SQL are better for operating a production cluster.

Refer to Google Cloud Instructions for installation.

S3 and RDS MySQL are better for operating a production cluster.

Refer to AWS Instructions for installation.

Note: Community maintains a different opinionated installation manifests for AWS, refer to e2fyi/kubeflow-aws.

If the installation is based on CloudSQL/GCS, after the uninstall, the data is still there, reinstall a newer version can reuse the data.

### 1. namespace scoped
# Depends on how you installed it:
kubectl kustomize env/platform-agnostic | kubectl delete -f -
# or
kubectl kustomize env/dev | kubectl delete -f -
# or
kubectl kustomize env/gcp | kubectl delete -f -
# or
kubectl delete applications/pipeline -n kubeflow

### 2. cluster scoped
kubectl delete -k cluster-scoped-resources/

• User facing manifest entrypoints are cluster-scoped-resources package and env/<env-name> package.
  • cluster-scoped-resources should collect all cluster-scoped resources.
  • env/<env-name> should collect env specific namespace-scoped resources.
  • Note, for multi-user envs, they already included cluster-scoped resources.
• KFP core components live in base/<component-name> folders.
  • If a component requires cluster-scoped resources, it should have a folder inside named cluster-scoped with related resources, but note that base/<component-name>/kustomization.yaml shouldn't include the cluster-scoped folder. cluster-scoped folders should be collected by top level cluster-scoped-resources folder.
• KFP core installations are in base/installs/<install-type>, they only include the core KFP components, not third party ones.
• Third party components live in third-party/<component-name> folders.

Env specific overlays live in env/<env-name> folders, they compose above components to get ready for directly deploying.

Please compose base/installs/<install-type> and third party dependencies based on your own requirements.

Constraints for namespaced installation we need to comply with (that drove above structure):

• CRDs must be applied separately, because if we apply CRs in the same kubectl apply command, the CRD may not have been accepted by k8s api server (e.g. Application CRD).
• A Kubeflow 1.0 constraint is that we should separate cluster scoped resources from namespace scoped resources, because sometimes different roles are required to deploy them. Cluster scoped resources usually need a cluster admin role, while namespaced resources can be deployed by individual teams managing a namespace.
