Overview
This guide intended to introduce end users to complete ML workflow using Kubeflow. In particular, examples of Kubeflow Pipelines using Katib hyperparameter tuning and MLFlow model registry are presented along with some common pipeline steps and interfaces such as S3.
For more detailed documentation on Kubeflow Pipelines refer to Kubeflow Pipelines | Kubeflow
For more detailed documentation on Kubeflow Katib refer to Katib | Kubeflow
The following diagram outlines ML workflow presented in this guide. Major pipeline steps include:
- Ingestion of dataset.
- Cleaning up the dataset.
- Store of cleaned data to S3 bucket.
- Hyperparameter tuning using Katib and Tensorflow training container image (with MLFlow store functionality).
- Converting Katib tuning results to streamlined format.
- Model training using best parameters from tuning stage.
- Storing the resulting production model to MLFlow model registry.
This repository contains all artifacts needed to support this guide. graphics/
directory contains all related screenshorts and diagrams. resources/
directory contains Jupyter notebook containing all steps in this guide, Dockerfile
and Python script for training image used in this guide.
Requirements
- Deployed Kubeflow instance including Katib, and access to Kubeflow dashboard. For sample Kubeflow deployment refer to https://charmed-kubeflow.io/docs/get-started-with-charmed-kubeflow. More details on Kubeflow can be found here Documentation | Kubeflow.
- Deployed MLFlow. For deployment of Charmed MLFlow refer to https://charmed-kubeflow.io/docs/mlflow
- Familiarity with Python, Docker, Jupyter notebooks.
Instructions
The following are the instructions that outline the workflow process.
Create notebook server and Jupyter notebook
-
Access Kubeflow dashboard via URL, eg http://10.64.140.43.nip.io/
-
Navigate to Notebooks.
-
Create a new notebook.
- Fill in name
- Select Tensorflow image
jupyter-tensorflow-full:v1.6.0
- Select minimum configuration: 1 CPU and 4GB of RAM
-
Connect to the newly created notebook.
-
Create a Jupyter notebook to hold code that will specify the Kubeflow pipeline.
Define ML pipeline
NOTE: The following Jupyter notebook contains all the steps outlined below: [https://github.com/canonical/kubeflow-examples/blob/main/ml-workflow-demo-kfp-katib-mlflow/ml-workflow-demo-kfp-katib-mlflow.ipynb)
- To setup environment add the following cells to the newly created Jupyter notebook:
!pip install kfp==1.8.12
!pip install kubeflow-katib==0.13.0
import json
import kfp
from kfp import dsl
from kfp import Client
from kfp import components
from kfp.onprem import use_k8s_secret
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from scipy.io.arff import loadarff
from kubeflow.katib import ApiClient
from kubeflow.katib import V1beta1ExperimentSpec
from kubeflow.katib import V1beta1AlgorithmSpec
from kubeflow.katib import V1beta1ObjectiveSpec
from kubeflow.katib import V1beta1ParameterSpec
from kubeflow.katib import V1beta1FeasibleSpace
from kubeflow.katib import V1beta1TrialTemplate
from kubeflow.katib import V1beta1TrialParameterSpec
- Create pipeline steps that will do data ingestion and cleanup. Setup transfer of clean data to the next step using S3 bucket.
NOTE: Ingesting and cleaning of input data in this guide is an example of how data can be processed in the pipeline. Different data ingest, data cleaning, data formats can be integrated.
To load raw data into the pipeline use Kubeflow Pipelines component reusable web downloader component to create data ingerst operation.
# Data ingest operation.
# Output is in outputs['data']
ingest_data_op = components.load_component_from_url(
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubeflow/pipelines/master/components/contrib/web/Download/component.yaml'
)
The data in this example is in ARFF format. Create function that will do cleanup of ingested data. In this example this function relies on specific components to aid in data processing. They are specified as packages and imports in the function code and cleanup data operation. Note that S3 bucket is used as output for cleaned data.
# Data clean up operation.
# Output is in S3 (specified by `bucket`)
def clean_arff_data(
bucket,
key,
input_file: components.InputPath(str)
) -> str:
import pandas as pd
import boto3
import os
from io import StringIO
from scipy.io.arff import loadarff
print(f"Loading input file {input_file}")
# Convert to dataframe arff format.
raw_data = loadarff(input_file)
df_data = pd.DataFrame(raw_data[0].copy())
print(f"Loaded data file of shape {df_data.shape}")
print(f"Cleaning the data")
# Convert target column to numeric.
df_data.iloc[:, -1] = pd.get_dummies(df_data['CHURN']).iloc[:, 0]
# Remove missing values.
df_clean = df_data.dropna(axis=1)
df_clean.loc[:,'CHURN'] = pd.get_dummies(df_data['CHURN']).iloc[:, 0]
# Get rid of non-numeric columns.
df_clean = df_clean.select_dtypes(exclude='object')
print("Saving results to S3")
csv_buffer = StringIO()
df_clean.to_csv(csv_buffer)
s3_resource = boto3.resource(
's3',
endpoint_url='http://minio.kubeflow.svc.cluster.local:9000',
aws_access_key_id=os.getenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
aws_secret_access_key=os.getenv('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')
)
check_bucket = s3_resource.Bucket(bucket)
if not check_bucket.creation_date:
# bucket does not exist, create it
s3_resource.create_bucket(Bucket=bucket)
print(f"Saving CSV of shape {df_clean.shape} to s3")
s3_resource.Object(bucket, key).put(Body=csv_buffer.getvalue())
return "Done"
Define data cleanup operation based on data clean up function.
# Data cleanup operation.
# Output data is in S3.
clean_data_op = components.create_component_from_func(
clean_arff_data,
"clean_data.yaml",
packages_to_install=["pandas==1.2.4", "scipy==1.7.0", "boto3"],
)
- Create the next pipeline step that will do hyperparameter tuning using Katib and a training container image
docker.io/misohu/kubeflow-training:latest
. For more details on the training container image refer to resources README of this guide.
Note that output of Katib hyperparameter tuning is converted into string
format by helper function convert_katib_results()
.
Define Katib hyperparameter tuninig operation.

- Define a helper that generates timestamps in a Kubeflow Pipeline step. It will be needed to generate unique names for some of pipeline steps.
def compute_timestamp() -> str:

return datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S")
compute_timestamp_op = components.func_to_container_op(compute_timestamp)
- Define a complete pipeline that consists of all steps created earlier. Note that the name of the pipeline must be unique. If there was previously defined pipeline with the same name and within the same namespace either change the name of current pipeline or delete the older pipeline from the namespace.

Monitor progress and access results
- Observe run details by selecting Run details link.
- When Katib experiment has started observe details of this experiment by selecting Exeperiments (AutoML) option on sidebar of Kubeflow dashboard.
- Verify that model is stored in MLFlow model registry by navigating to MLFlow dashboard, eg. http://10.64.140.43.nip.io/mlflow/#/
- Now model is ready to be deployed!
