AWS is not planning to participate in distribution testing at this time. If anything changes in the future, we will let you know. Please reach out to us via your account managers or Github issue if you have any questions.

Hello @surajkota, I'd like to verify if there are any plans for AWS to discontinue future releases/support of Kubeflow on AWS.?

Will there be a simple way to integrate the KFP v2 GA release with KF 1.7 then? Once it is released? If we are able to do this seamlessly, it will really helpful

Yes, this would be really interesting. It would mean we will have to maintain our fork independently.

[kevdougful]

Agreed. This would significantly increase our ongoing development efforts. Some clarity on future support/development would be greatly appreciated. Does "at this time" mean "sometime later" or "not ever?" 😄

hoping that the closing comments of this issue can be published somewhere so that we can keep track of where this is heading.

@surajkota hoping to see the aws build corresponding to Kubeflow 1.8 soon. Request to consider for an early release.

While I hope that AWS continues first-party support for Kubeflow, I would love to share an alternative called deployKF.

deployKF is a community-maintained Kubeflow distribution that takes a different approach from the others. It is much easier to maintain because it uses “values” (like a helm chart), rather than manual YAML patches. This approach enables features like in-place upgrades, and fully declarative configs (for GitOps) while also being way easier to connect with external services like S3 and RDS.

The next version of deployKF will support Kubefow 1.8, and current deployKF users will be able to do an in-place upgrade!

Also, we are about to publish a "deployKF on AWS" guide, but if you are already familiar with AWS and EKS, you don't need to wait, just follow the generic getting started guide.

If you want to help deployKF, you can participate on the deploykf/deploykf repo, or just give the repo a ⭐ on GitHub!

PS: deployKF is actually planning to support more than Kubeflow in the near future!

@surajkota Any feedback regarding:

• Kubeflow 1.8 support?
• Kubeflow on AWS repository future support/development?

Wish there was a solid alternative to "Kubeflow on AWS" :/

Wish there was a solid alternative to "Kubeflow on AWS" :/

@hfarooqui does deployKF meet your needs?

If not, I would love to get your feedback so that we can make it work for your use case.
