Introduction In a few previous posts on AI/ML, I mentioned that one of the benefits of MinIO is that you have tools for Versioning, Lifecycle Management, Object Locking, Object Retention and Legal Holds. These capabilities have a variety of uses. You may need a simple way to keep track of training experiments. You could also use these features to

Introduction In a previous post, I covered Building an ML Data Pipeline with MinIO and Kubeflow v2.0. The data pipeline I created downloaded US Census data to a dedicated instance of MinIO. This is different from the MinIO instance Kubeflow Pipelines (KFP) uses internally. We could have tried to use KFP’s instance of MinIO - however, this is

This post first appeared in The New Stack. Developers gravitate to technologies that are software defined, open source, cloud native and simple. That essentially defines object storage. Introduction Choosing the best storage for all phases of a machine learning (ML) project is critical. Research engineers need to create multiple versions of datasets and experiment with different model architectures. When a

Engineers like to play and learn locally. It does not matter which tool is under investigation: a high-end storage solution, a workflow orchestration engine, or the latest thing in distributed computing. The best way to learn a new technology is to find a way to cram it all on a single machine so that you can put your hands on

Kubeflow Pipelines (KFP) is the most popular feature of Kubeflow. A Python engineer can turn a function written in plain old Python into a component that runs in Kubernetes using the KFP decorators. If you used KFP v1, be warned - the programming model in KFP v2 is very different - however, it is a big improvement. Transforming plain old
