Deploying vLLM on Kubernetes is a scalable and efficient way to serve machine learning models. This guide walks you through deploying vLLM using native Kubernetes.
--------
Alternatively, you can also deploy Kubernetes using [helm chart](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/deployment/frameworks/helm.html). There are also open-source projects available to make your deployment even smoother.
*[vLLM production-stack](https://github.com/vllm-project/production-stack): Born out of a Berkeley-UChicago collaboration, vLLM production stack is a project that contains latest research and community effort, while still delivering production-level stability and performance. Checkout the [documentation page](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/deployment/integrations/production-stack.html) for more details and examples.
--------
Alternatively, you can deploy vLLM to Kubernetes using any of the following:
Ensure that you have a running Kubernetes environment with GPU (you can follow [this tutorial](https://github.com/vllm-project/production-stack/blob/main/tutorials/00-install-kubernetes-env.md) to install a Kubernetes environment on a bare-metal GPU machine).
Ensure that you have a running [Kubernetes cluster with GPUs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-gpus/scheduling-gpus/).
