Project Overview

The project goal is to operationalize a machine learning microservice using kubernetes.

The app—app.py—serves out predictions (inference) about housing prices through API calls. This project could be extended to any pre-trained machine learning model, such as those for image recognition and data labeling.


Setup the Environment

  • Create a virtualenv and activate it
