Install Seldon-Core

To install seldon-core on a Kubernetes cluster you have several choices:

• Decide on which package manager to use, we support:
  • Helm
  • Ksonnet
• Decide on how you wish APIs to be exposed, we support:
  • Ambassador reverse proxy
  • Seldon's builtin OAuth API Gateway
• Decide on whether you wish to contribute anonymous usage metrics. We encourage you to allow anonymous usage metrics to help us improve the project by understanding the deployment environments. More details can be found here
• Does your kubernetes cluster have RBAC enabled?
  • If not then disable seldon RBAC setup

Follow one of the methods below:

With Helm

• Optionally, Install Ambassador
• Install Seldon CRD. Set:
  • usage_metrics.enabled as appropriate.

     --set usage_metrics.enabled=true

• Install seldon-core components. Set
  • apife.enabled : (default true) set to false if you have installed Ambassador.
  • rbac.enabled : (default true) set to false if running an old Kubernetes cluster without RBAC.

helm install seldon-core --name seldon-core --repo https://storage.googleapis.com/seldon-charts \
     --set apife.enabled=<true|false> \
