# Model Serving on Kubernetes

Production ML model serving with KServe and Triton — canary deployments, autoscaling, and GPU-aware scheduling.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:
- Serving scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or ONNX models at scale
- Implementing canary deployments and A/B testing for ML models
- Autoscaling inference pods based on request rate or GPU metrics
- Deploying LLMs with Triton or KServe on Kubernetes
- Managing multiple model versions with traffic splitting

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.28+ with GPU nodes
- KServe installed (or Triton standalone)
- `kubectl` and `helm` configured
- NVIDIA GPU Operator installed on cluster

## KServe Installation

```bash
# Install KServe with Helm
helm repo add kserve https://kserve.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update

helm install kserve kserve/kserve \
  --namespace kserve \
  --create-namespace \
  --set kserve.controller.gateway.ingressGateway.className=nginx

# Verify
kubectl get pods -n kserve
kubectl get crd | grep kserve
```

## Basic InferenceService (KServe)

```yaml
apiVersion: serving.kserve.io/v1beta1
kind: InferenceService
metadata:
  name: sklearn-iris
  namespace: models
spec:
  predictor:
    sklearn:
      storageUri: gs://kfserving-examples/models/sklearn/1.0/model
      resources:
        requests:
          cpu: "1"
          memory: 2Gi
        limits:
          cpu: "2"
          memory: 4Gi
```

```bash
kubectl apply -f inference-service.yaml

# Get inference service URL
kubectl get inferenceservice sklearn-iris -n models
# NAME           URL                                          READY   ...
# sklearn-iris   http://sklearn-iris.models.example.com       True

# Test prediction
curl -X POST http://sklearn-iris.models.example.com/v1/models/sklearn-iris:predict \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"instances": [[6.8, 2.8, 4.8, 1.4]]}'
```

## GPU-Enabled LLM InferenceService

```yaml
apiVersion: serving.kserve.io/v1beta1
kind: InferenceService

## Canary Deployment (Traffic Splitting)

```yaml
apiVersion: serving.kserve.io/v1beta1
kind: InferenceService
metadata:
  name: llama-3-8b
  namespace: models
spec:
  predictor:
    canaryTrafficPercent: 20    # 20% to new version, 80% to stable
    containers:
    - name: vllm-container
      image: vllm/vllm-openai:latest
      args:
      - "--model"
      - "meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-v2"  # new model version
      resources:
        limits:
          nvidia.com/gpu: "1"
```

```bash
# Gradually increase canary traffic
kubectl patch inferenceservice llama-3-8b -n models \
  --type='json' \
  -p='[{"op":"replace","path":"/spec/predictor/canaryTrafficPercent","value":50}]'

# Promote canary to stable
kubectl patch inferenceservice llama-3-8b -n models \
  --type='json' \
  -p='[{"op":"remove","path":"/spec/predictor/canaryTrafficPercent"}]'
```

## Model Management Commands

```bash
# List loaded models (Triton)
curl http://triton:8000/v2/models

# Load a new model version
curl -X POST http://triton:8000/v2/repository/models/text-classifier/load

# Unload a model
curl -X POST http://triton:8000/v2/repository/models/text-classifier/unload

# KServe — watch rollout status
kubectl rollout status deployment/llama-3-8b-predictor -n models
kubectl get inferenceservice llama-3-8b -n models -w
```

## Common Issues

| Issue | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| `InferenceService not ready` | Model loading or OOM | Check predictor pod logs; increase memory limits |
| Canary stuck at 0% | KNative routing issue | Check `kubectl get ksvc -n models` |
| Triton missing model | S3 permissions or path | Verify IAM role; check `--model-store` path |
| Low GPU utilization | Dynamic batching off | Enable `dynamic_batching` in Triton config |
| Autoscaler not triggering | Prometheus query wrong | Test query in Prometheus UI |

## Best Practices

- Use canary deployments for all model updates — roll back in seconds if metrics degrade.
- Enable Triton dynamic batching — it can increase GPU throughput 5–10× for small models.
- Store models in S3/GCS with versioned paths (`s3://bucket/model/v1/`, `v2/`).
- Pin GPU node selectors to prevent model pods landing on CPU-only nodes.
- Monitor p99 latency and error rates per model version during canary rollouts.
