Yeah, I guess the main things are using it to build and deploy our machine
learning pipeline, getting decent logging set up so we can compare the
accuracy of different algorithms, etc. The argument for EKS was that it’s
necessary for running Kubeflow.

The team I’m on only had one person who has used K8s at all so I was
assigned the job of being the alternate resource. I picked up the basics
using the documentation, but having a better general overview of the tech
seems like it’d be helpful in getting through the more painful parts of the
learning curve and being able to train other people on the team.

I’ve been working through the Linux Foundation’s training. I figure it
makes sense to take the CKA exam and then look at information that’s more
specific to machine learning use cases. Do you think that studying for the
CKA is overkill for my situation?

Cheers,
Meg
