KServe Model Server
KServe is a Kubernetes-native platform for deploying ML models (PyTorch, TensorFlow, SKLearn, etc.) with auto-scaling, traffic splitting (canary), monitoring, and explainability. Used by ML teams at Google, Kubeflow, and enterprises running inference at scale. Mastery takes 4-6 months. Senior practitioners command 20-30% premium because ML deployment is specialized and valuable.
What is KServe Model Server
KServe is a Kubernetes-native platform for deploying and serving machine learning models. It provides model serving abstraction (supports PyTorch, TensorFlow, SKLearn, XGBoost, custom models), auto-scaling based on traffic, traffic splitting (canary, A/B testing), monitoring, and model versioning. KServe runs on Kubernetes via KNative, enabling serverless inference: models scale to zero when idle, spin up on demand.
