Getting Started with KServe

Before you begin

Warning

KServe Quickstart Environments are for experimentation use only. For production installation, see our Administrator's Guide

Before you can get started with a KServe Quickstart deployment you must install kind and the Kubernetes CLI.

Install Kind (Kubernetes in Docker)

You can use kind (Kubernetes in Docker) to run a local Kubernetes cluster with Docker container nodes.

Install the Kubernetes CLI

The Kubernetes CLI (kubectl), allows you to run commands against Kubernetes clusters. You can use kubectl to deploy applications, inspect and manage cluster resources, and view logs.

Install Helm

The Helm package manager for Kubernetes helps you define, install and upgrade software built for Kubernetes.

Install the KServe "Quickstart" environment

  1. After having kind installed, create a kind cluster with: 

    kind create cluster

  2. Then run:

    kubectl config get-contexts

    It should list out a list of contexts you have, one of them should be kind-kind. Then run:

    kubectl config use-context kind-kind
    to use this context.

  3. You can then get started with a local deployment of KServe by using KServe Quick installation script on Kind:

    curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kserve/kserve/release-0.14/hack/quick_install.sh" | bash
