Helm

We provide several Helm charts.

• seldon-core-v2-crds : cluster wide install of custom resources.

• seldon-core-v2-setup : installation of the manager to manage resources in the namespace or clusterwide. This also installs default SeldonConfig and ServerConfig resources which allow Runtimes and Servers to be installed easily on demand.

• seldon-core-v2-runtime : this installs a SeldonRuntime custom resource which creates the core components in a namespace.

• seldon-core-v2-servers : this installs Server custom resources which provide example core servers to load models.

• seldon-core-v2-certs : a default set of certificates for TLS.

The Helm charts can be found within the k8s/helm-charts folder and they are publishedhere

Assuming you have installed any ecosystem components: Jaeger, Prometheus, Kafka as discussedhere you can follow the following steps.

Note that for Kafka follow the steps discussed here

Add Seldon Core 2 Charts

helm repo add seldon-charts https://seldonio.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update seldon-charts

Install the CRDs

helm install seldon-core-v2-crds  seldon-charts/seldon-core-v2-crds

Install the Seldon Core 2 Components

You can install into any namespace. For illustration we will use seldon-mesh. This will install the core manager which will handle the key resources used by Seldon including the SeldonRuntime and Server resources.

kubectl create namespace seldon-mesh

helm install seldon-core-v2  seldon-charts/seldon-core-v2-setup --namespace seldon-mesh

This will install the operator namespaced so it will only control resources in the provided namespace. To allow cluster wide usage add the --set controller.clusterwide=true, e.g.

helm install seldon-core-v2  seldon-charts/seldon-core-v2-setup --namespace seldon-mesh --set controller.clusterwide=true

Cluster wide operations will require ClusterRoles to be created so when deploying be aware your user will require the required permissions. With cluster wide operations you can create SeldonRuntimes in any namespace.

Install the default Seldon Core 2 Runtime

helm install seldon-v2-runtime seldon-charts/seldon-core-v2-runtime --namespace seldon-mesh

This will install the core components in your desired namespace.

Install example servers

To install some MLServer and Triton servers you can either create Server resources yourself or for initial testing you can use our example Helm chart seldon-core-v2-servers:

helm install seldon-v2-servers seldon-charts/seldon-core-v2-servers --namespace seldon-mesh

By default this will install 1 MLServer and 1 Triton in the desired namespace. This namespace should be the same namespace you installed a Seldon Core Runtime.

Uninstall

Remove any models, pipelines that are running.

Remove the runtime:

helm uninstall seldon-core-v2-runtime  --namespace seldon-mesh

Remove the core components:

helm uninstall seldon-core-v2  --namespace seldon-mesh

Remove the CRDs

helm uninstall seldon-core-v2-crds
