  • Azure Cloud Platform
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Other vendors offer managed Kubernetes as a service, and are probably good candidates for deploying Kubeflow, but, for the sake of brevity, we’ll focus on the big three clouds. Our focus for each cloud offering is how their managed Kubernetes is deployed, and then what products on the cloud are relevant for integration.

In this chapter, we give a review of the relevant components to Kubeflow operations for Google Cloud, and then point out the specific aspects of the cloud to keep in mind. Kubeflow can run on GCP via the managed Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Let’s start off by taking a tour of GCP.
