Overview of installation choices for Kubeflow

Kubeflow is an end-to-end Machine Learning (ML) platform for Kubernetes, it provides components for each stage in the ML lifecycle, from exploration through to training and deployment. Operators can choose what is best for their users, there is no requirement to deploy every component. To read more about the components and architecture of Kubeflow, please see the Kubeflow Overview page.
