Overview
The prerequisite process of provisioning and verifying a Kubernetes cluster with the necessary tooling for deploying Kubeflow Pipelines.
Description
Before deploying KFP, a Kubernetes cluster must be provisioned (any provider: GKE, EKS, AKS, minikube, kind), kubectl must be configured with cluster-admin access, and kustomize CLI must be installed (v3.2.0+). Verification includes checking kubectl connectivity, cluster info, and sufficient cluster resources.
Usage
Required as the first step before any KFP deployment.
Theoretical Basis
Infrastructure provisioning — establishing the compute substrate. Kubernetes provides container orchestration; KFP layers ML pipeline semantics on top.
