Seldon Core Custom resource definition (CRD) not found

CRD not installed or incorrectly defined.

Understanding Seldon Core

Seldon Core is an open-source platform designed to deploy machine learning models on Kubernetes. It allows data scientists and developers to manage, scale, and monitor machine learning models in production environments. By leveraging Kubernetes, Seldon Core provides a robust infrastructure for deploying models as microservices, ensuring scalability and resilience.

Identifying the Symptom

When working with Seldon Core, you might encounter an error where a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) is not found. This typically manifests as an error message indicating that a specific CRD is missing or cannot be located. This issue prevents the successful deployment of machine learning models using Seldon Core.

Common Error Messages

  • Error: unable to recognize "": no matches for kind "SeldonDeployment" in version "machinelearning.seldon.io/v1"
  • CustomResourceDefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io "seldondeployments.machinelearning.seldon.io" not found

Exploring the Issue

The error occurs because the necessary CRDs for Seldon Core are either not installed or incorrectly defined in the Kubernetes cluster. CRDs are essential for extending Kubernetes capabilities, allowing custom resources like SeldonDeployments to be managed. Without the correct CRDs, Kubernetes cannot recognize or manage these custom resources, leading to deployment failures.

Why CRDs Matter

CRDs enable Kubernetes to understand and manage custom resources, which are crucial for deploying machine learning models with Seldon Core. They define the schema and behavior of these resources, allowing Kubernetes to handle them appropriately.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the "CRD not found" issue, follow these steps to ensure that the necessary CRDs are installed and correctly defined:

Step 1: Verify CRD Installation

First, check if the required CRDs are installed in your Kubernetes cluster. You can list all CRDs using the following command:

kubectl get crds

Look for CRDs related to Seldon, such as seldondeployments.machinelearning.seldon.io. If they are missing, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Install Seldon Core CRDs

If the CRDs are not present, you need to install them. You can do this by applying the Seldon Core CRD manifest. Run the following command:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeldonIO/seldon-core/master/operator/config/crd/bases/machinelearning.seldon.io_seldondeployments.yaml

This command fetches and applies the necessary CRDs from the Seldon Core GitHub repository.

Step 3: Verify CRD Installation

After applying the CRDs, verify their installation by listing them again:

kubectl get crds

Ensure that the Seldon-related CRDs are now present in the list.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "CRD not found" issue in Seldon Core. Ensuring that the necessary CRDs are installed and correctly defined is crucial for the successful deployment of machine learning models on Kubernetes using Seldon Core. For more detailed information, you can refer to the official Seldon Core documentation.
