Compare to Kubeflow which contains Seldon-Core

[elgalu]

Hi! thanks for open sourcing this big effort!

Would it be possible to compare this solution to Kubeflow which contains Seldon-Core and an example.

And finally, if you have some time, compare to PipelineAI ?

@elgalu Thanks - FfDL is the core of IBM Watson Studio's Deep Learning as a Service technology, that we have open sourced and made available on GitHub, along with Model Asset eXchange (MAX) and Adversarial Robustness Tool (ART), with more on the way. We believe FfDL has capabilities that are complementary to other open source frameworks in this space, such as Kubeflow, PaddlePaddle, and others.

Seldon is someone we are working with to have as a partner to augment the serving side, as we would like to work with others. The core effort here is to create a framework with reference APIs and pluggable points, provide our own reference implementation and plug in community implementations as well.

Nice, so glad to read that you guys are willing to work together. This is very promising! thanks again:)

There is now an initial set of integration docs to show how you can use Seldon to deploy models trained with FfDL.
