Design Details

The model operator is supposed to run as a separate binary, fully decoupled from the KubeEdge platform code. It leverages the KubeEdge platform to schedule work on edge nodes. Here is the high level design diagram for the work flow:

Image Added

There are generally two phases for machine learning model development, i.e. training and inference. Model behaviors are quite different depending on whether it is used for training or for inference. So we might as well define two different types of model CRDs:

// InferenceModelSpec defines the desired state of an InferenceModel.
// Two ways of deployment are provided. The first is through a docker image.
// The second is through a data store, with a manifest of model files.

An instance of the InferenceModel specifies a single serving service for the provided model.
