How to Deploy Your Machine Learning Models with Seldon Core

Feb 17, 2024 | Data Science

Welcome to your ultimate guide for deploying machine learning models at scale using Seldon Core! This platform is designed to help you containerize and deploy your models seamlessly in Kubernetes, making it an industry-ready solution for machine learning applications.

What is Seldon Core?

Seldon Core is like a magic bridge connecting your machine learning model to the cloud. Just as a restaurant serves your favorite food, Seldon Core serves predictions from your ML models efficiently to end-users with various advanced features. With Seldon Core, not only can you deploy models with ease, but you also gain access to powerful analytics and monitoring capabilities.

Getting Started with Seldon Core

Follow these steps to kick off your journey with Seldon Core:

  • Install Seldon Core: Begin by creating a namespace for your project and then install Seldon Core using Helm 3:
  • kubectl create namespace seldon-system
    helm install seldon-core seldon-core-operator \
         --repo https://storage.googleapis.com/seldon-charts \
         --set usageMetrics.enabled=true \
         --namespace seldon-system \
         --set istio.enabled=true
         # You can set ambassador instead with --set ambassador.enabled=true
  • Deploy Your Model: Use pre-packaged model servers to deploy your machine learning models. Below is an example of deploying a scikit-learn model:
  • kubectl create namespace seldon
    kubectl apply -f - << END
    apiVersion: machinelearning.seldon.io/v1
    kind: SeldonDeployment
    metadata:
      name: iris-model
      namespace: seldon
    spec:
      name: iris
      predictors:
      - graph:
          implementation: SKLEARN_SERVER
          modelUri: gs://seldon-models/v1.19.0-dev/sklearn/iris
          name: classifier
        name: default
        replicas: 1
    END
  • Send API Requests: Once your model is deployed, you can send requests to it via standard REST APIs. Access the User Interface at http://ingress_url/seldon/namespace/model-name/api/v1.0/doc or programmatically with CURL.

Troubleshooting Deployment Issues

If you encounter challenges during the deployment process, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

  • Check your Kubernetes cluster’s health and ensure that Seldon Core components are running properly.
  • Make sure the model URI is correctly specified and accessible from the deployed environment.
  • Consult the logs for any errors in the Seldon Core dashboard.
  • If problems persist, feel free to leave feedback on the Slack community and submit bugs or feature requests on the GitHub repository.
