# kfserving
Model serving related infrastructure in Kubeflow
KF Serving provides a Custom Resource Definition for serving ML Models on arbitrary frameworks. It aims at solving 80% of model serving use cases by providing performant, high abstraction interfaces for common ML frameworks like Tensorflow, XGBoost, ScikitLearn, PyTorch, and Custom containers.

A KF Serving "Service" encapsulates the complexity of autoscaling, networking, health checking, server configuration, and more, to provide customers with a simple and seamless experience when deploying models.

In the future, we hope to support more advanced use cases such as skew detection, explainability, and performance profiling across infrastructure configurations.

# KF Serving 2019 Roadmap
## Q2 2019

### Core CUJs
Objective: "Simplify the user experience and provide a low barrier to entry by minimizing the amount of YAML necessary to deploy a trained model."
* High Level Interfaces
* Deploy a Tensorflow model without specifying a Tensorflow Serving Technology.
* Deploy a XGBoost model without specifying a XGBoost Serving Technology.
* Deploy a ScikitLearn model without specifying a ScikitLearn Serving Technology.
* Deploy a Pytorch model without specifying a Pytorch Serving Technology.
* Deploy a Custom Containerized model by specifying your docker image and args.

Objective: "Empower users to safely deploy production models by enabling a variety of deployment strategies."
* Model Rollout
* Rollout a model using a blue-green strategy.
* Rollout a model using a pinned strategy.
* Rollout a model using a canary strategy.

Objective: "Reduce the total cost of ownership for models by minimizing the delta between provisioned resources and request load."
* Autoscaling
* Scale a model to zero.
* Scale a model from zero without dropping traffic.
* Scale a model that is GPU bound.
* Scale a model that is CPU bound.

### High Level Work Items
* Define the API specification (owner ellisbigelow@)
* Explain complete data model
* Document common usage patterns to meet CUJs

* Implement the API specification with a CRD (owner yuzisun@)
* Generate a Kubebuilder CRD
* Define golang protos as per spec
* Implement ValidatingAdmissionController for API Validation
* Implement ReconciliationHandler to generate subresources

* Integrate a KFServing component with a SeldonDeployment (owner cliveseldon@)
* Determine integration strategy
* Implement integration

## Beyond Q2
TBD
