#2451 (comment)

Hey @doncorsean , that's so great! I love what you're doing!

Lets use this occasion so I can update you with what is happening right now in the Helm Chart:

• We're finalizing work around having the kserve and knative installed (standard approach, kserve and knative should be installed as external dependencies and some integration manifests are put in the KF Helm Chart)
  • knative
    • quickstart scripts are configured to install knative operator either from the https://github.com/knative/operator/releases/download/knative-v1.11.0/operator.yaml directly or from the kustomize (with ArgoCD) in https://github.com/knative/operator/tree/knative-v1.11.0/config/default (depending if we're using ArgoCD or plain Helm approach)
      • I didn't find any helm chart for the knative so we probably have to live with it how it is for now
    • integration manifests are configured to deploy KnativeEventing and KnativeServing CRDs
  • kserve
    • quickstart scripts are installing kserve either from:
      • locally downloaded kserve helm chart (because the 0.11.2 kserve is not available in the Helm Chart repo, only 0.12.0+: https://github.com/kserve/kserve/pkgs/container/charts%2Fkserve)
      • ArgoCD App pointing to the kserve git repo where helm charts are defined (https://github.com/kserve/kserve/tree/v0.11.2/charts)
• What is still missing and we're be happy to welcome a contribution:
  • KServe Models Web App (for this let's wait until the kserve/knative thing is officially released in the github/kromanow94/kubeflow-manifests)
  • Katib
  • Tensorboard Controller/Tensorboards Web App
  • Training Operator

If you're interested, we can talk at the next Kubeflow Platform Meeting (Manifests + Security WG) and have some alignment on what would be best to pick up for your contribution :).

Sounds good @kromanow94, I'll take a look in Slack and get dialed into the meeting. Is it on the calendar already @juliusvonkohout?

[kromanow94]

@doncorsean yes, it's available here: https://www.kubeflow.org/docs/about/community/#kubeflow-community-calendars

Just for update, we're still working on the Helm Chart :). For 1.8.1 we need just a couple of things. This is Tensorboards and a separate Helm Chart for CRDs because they became huge. I think we're going to have a ready version sometime in November :).

Hey, a new release for Kubeflow Helm Chart 0.3.0 just dropped!

https://github.com/kromanow94/kubeflow-manifests/releases/tag/kubeflow-0.3.0

See the release notes for more information and quickstart example.

Key Changes:

• TensorBoard Integration.
• Separate Helm Chart for All CRDs.
• Temporary usage Helm Repository Mirror for Knative Operator until knative-operator is served on their official repository.
• Simplified Knative Integration.

Also, not too long ago we did a small release 0.2.1 where we added Katib integration with help from @doncorsean! Thank you for your time and effort!

Next goals:

• Add Models Web App to the Helm Chart.
• Update Istio integration to include latest changes included in Kubeflow 1.9.1 for simplified and improved M2M Token and in-cluster Self Signed OIDC Issuer.

After we have the two next goals reached, we're going to ask people to test and provide feedback. After that we're hoping to make an official release for the Kubeflow Helm Chart!

This is incredible! End users have been asking for this!

Hey, a new release for Kubeflow Helm Chart 0.4.0 just dropped!

This release finalizes the technical foundation for a full-fledged Kubeflow installation using only Helm Charts for its components and dependencies. 🎉

We still lack some documentation but from technical perspective, this is all what's needed to have a Kubeflow 1.8.1 deployed with just the Helm Charts!

For more information, see this release: Kubeflow Helm Chart v0.4.0.
