When it fits — and when it doesn’t

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited documentation and examples for advanced use cases

   Official documentation lacks detailed guides on complex configurations and troubleshooting steps

2. 02

   Dependence on Kubernetes ecosystem can lead to increased complexity in setup and maintenance

   Requires a deep understanding of Kubernetes concepts such as namespaces, services, and deployments for effective use

What it does well

• Kubernetes-native architecture for scalable hyperparameter tuning and neural architecture search.

• Integration with Kubeflow for seamless machine learning workflows.

• Supports a variety of optimization algorithms including Bayesian Optimization, Random Search, and Grid Search.
