Domino Data Lab Brings Data Science Platform to Kubernetes - Container Journal

Domino Data Lab is making the case for a multi-cloud approach to building and deploying applications infused with machine learning algorithms now that its platform runs on Kubernetes. Company CEO Nick Elprin says that as organizations move to employ machine learning algorithms to build various types of applications, many of them don't appreciate the extent to which relying on proprietary services is locking them into a "walled garden" that only runs on a specific cloud computing platform. Many of those same organizations may even wake up one morning to discover they are suddenly now competing with Amazon, Google or Microsoft, all of which are rapidly expanding the type of services they provide based on machine learning algorithms, he notes. By opting to build machine learning models on a platform provided by Domino Data Lab, organizations can deploy those models on any public cloud or on-premises IT environment as they best see fit, Elprin says. Longer-term, Domino Data Labs is betting most applications employing machine learning algorithms also will be likely to span multiple clouds, he adds.
