Holden Karau, Francesca Lazzeri, and Trevor Grant offer an overview of Kubeflow and walk you through using it to train and serve models across different cloud environments (and on-premises). You'll use a script to do the initial setup work, so you can jump (almost) straight into training a model on one cloud and then look at how to set up serving in another cluster/cloud. Read more.
