Install¶
To install Seldon Core 2 itself you can choose from the following. At present, all require a clone of the source repository.
Helm Installation (recommended for production systems)
Ansible (recommended for test / dev / trial purposes)
The Kubernetes operator that is installed runs in namespaced mode so any resources you create need to be in the same namespace as you installed into.
Kustomize¶
Our recommended and supported way to install is via Helm or Ansible. If you wish to use Kustomize then you can base your configuration on the raw yaml we create in the folder k8s/yaml or follow the steps in k8s/Makefile which illustrate how we build this yaml from our own Kustomize bases.
