Description

Neelima Mukiri and Meenakshi Kaushik provide an introduction to model building and optimization for TensorFlow in any Kubernetes environment. Katib is a scalable and flexible hyperparameter tuning framework and is tightly integrated with Kubernetes. It can be easily run on a laptop or in a distributed production deployment, and Katib jobs and configuration can be easily ported to any Kubernetes cluster.

You’ll go hands-on and set up a single-node Kubernetes on a laptop using VirtualBox. Neelima and Meenakshi provide a sample dataset and an example configuration and Kubeflow Pipeline that demonstrates hyperparameter tuning automation. They’ll walk you through Katib and Kubeflow, discussing functionality and usage, and explain how to port the tutorial to an enterprise environment for production deployment.

Prerequisite knowledge

  • A basic understanding of machine learning (what a model is and how to evaluate and compare models) and Linux command line usage

Materials or downloads needed in advance

  • A laptop with VirtualBox installed (please make sure to have VirtualBox installed BEFORE arriving onsite)

What you'll learn

  • Gain hands-on experience creating and optimizing models using Katib on Kubeflow
  • Understand hyperparameter tuning and how to transfer the system to an on-premises or cloud environment for production use cases

Got it.
Thank you, Neelima.

Hi Daniel,

Sure, any Kubernetes cluster which supports dynamic volume provisioning(ability to create persistent volumes) is fine.

I just got an email, that states that I need to bring laptop with preinstalled:
Vagrant 2.2.5 or later
VirtualBox 6.0.14 or later

Is it ok if I install the required software on GCP cloud instance and use laptop only as thin client?
