• (Ref recording 00:15:00)

• Walk-through info on Release K: Creating & running an ML-based rApp

  • First step: AIML Framework Installation Guide 

  • Train some models & make available as KServe deployment

  • Take existing KServe-based rApp & update to point to new KServe model & update names etc.

    • Run generator script to wrap up new rApp package - including rApp descriptor, service exposure def. etc.

  • See postman collection at end of Release K: Creating & running an ML-based rApp to deploy new rApp, prime it, instantiate, etc.

  • Once running, can invoke rApp instance inference service to get an inference result.
