环境准备与部署
前置条件
在部署Kubeflow之前，需要准备以下环境：
# 检查Kubernetes版本
kubectl version
# 确保有足够的资源
kubectl get nodes
kubectl describe nodes
# 安装必要的工具
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
部署Kubeflow 1.8
使用kfctl进行部署是最推荐的方式：
# kfctl_k8s_istio.yaml
apiVersion: kfdef.apps.kubeflow.org/v1
kind: KfDef
metadata:
name: kfdef-kubeflow
spec:
applications:
- kustomizeConfig:
repoRef:
name: manifests
path: namespaces
name: namespaces
- kustomizeConfig:
repoRef:
name: manifests
path: application/application-crds
name: application-crds
# ... 其他组件配置
repos:
- name: manifests
uri: https://github.com/kubeflow/manifests/archive/v1.8.0.tar.gz
# 下载kfctl
wget https://github.com/kubeflow/kfctl/releases/download/v1.8.0/kfctl_v1.8.0_linux.tar.gz
tar -xzf kfctl_v1.8.0_linux.tar.gz
sudo mv kfctl /usr/local/bin/
# 部署Kubeflow
export CONFIG_URI="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubeflow/manifests/v1.8-branch/kfdef/kfctl_k8s_istio.v1.8.0.yaml"
export KF_NAME=my-kubeflow
export BASE_DIR=/opt/kubeflow
export KF_DIR=${BASE_DIR}/${KF_NAME}
mkdir -p ${KF_DIR}
cd ${KF_DIR}
kfctl apply -V -f ${CONFIG_URI}
验证部署
部署完成后，验证各组件状态：
# 检查Pod状态
kubectl get pods -n kubeflow
# 检查服务
kubectl get svc -n kubeflow
# 检查CRD
kubectl get crds | grep kubeflow
数据预处理与特征工程
创建数据预处理Pipeline
使用Kubeflow Pipelines创建数据预处理流水线：

from kfp import dsl
from kfp.components import create_component_from_func
@create_component_from_func
def data_preprocessing(input_path: str, output_path: str):
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
# 读取数据
df = pd.read_csv(input_path)
# 数据清洗
df = df.dropna()
df = df.drop_duplicates()
# 特征工程
# 数值特征标准化
numeric_columns = df.select_dtypes(include=[np.number]).columns
for col in numeric_columns:
df[col] = (df[col] - df[col].mean()) / df[col].std()
# 类别特征编码
categorical_columns = df.select_dtypes(include=['object']).columns
for col in categorical_columns:
df[col] = pd.Categorical(df[col]).codes
# 保存处理后的数据
df.to_csv(output_path, index=False)
@create_component_from_func
def model_training(preprocessed_data: str, model_path: str):
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
import joblib
# 加载预处理数据
df = pd.read_csv(preprocessed_data)
# 分离特征和标签
X = df.drop('target', axis=1)
y = df['target']
# 划分训练集和测试集
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
# 训练模型
model = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100, random_state=42)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
# 保存模型
joblib.dump(model, model_path)
@dsl.pipeline(
name='ML Pipeline',
description='A simple ML pipeline'
)
def ml_pipeline(input_data: str):
preprocessing_task = data_preprocessing(
input_path=input_data,
output_path='/tmp/preprocessed_data.csv'
)
training_task = model_training(
preprocessed_data=preprocessing_task.outputs['output_path'],
