Kubeflow on Linux

Install Kubeflow on Linux

For Linux systems you have options for servers (physical or virtual) and desktops. The server options apply to the desktop as well.

Linux server

For Linux servers you can install Kubeflow natively. This is perfect for Linux hosts and virtual machines, such as VMs in OpenStack, VMware or public clouds like GCP, AWS and Azure.

MicroK8s

MicroK8s runs natively on most Linux distributions.

Follow the installation guide for Kubeflow with MicroK8s to set up MicroK8s and enable Kubeflow.

The instructions on Multipass and MicroK8s getting started page will complete this path.

Kubernetes appliance

A Kubernetes appliance is a virtual machine that has a Kubernetes cluster already installed. After starting the virtual machine, you need to install Kubeflow. This option gives you full control over your Kubeflow setup.

Follow the instructions on deploying with MiniKube on Linux to complete this path.
