Compare and contrast Apache Airflow versus Kubeflow Pipelines for ML orchestration
This tests matching orchestrators to ML constraints. A strong answer contrasts Airflow's task scheduling and backfills with Kubeflow's K8s-native GPU scaling, choosing based on team skills.
This tests aligning orchestrator philosophy to ML workload requirements instead of defaulting to popularity. A strong answer contrasts Airflow's mature task-based DAG scheduling and backfills with Kubeflow's K8s-native container orchestration, experiment tracking, and GPU scaling. It then evaluates tradeoffs: Airflow needs external ML glue and lacks native container parallelism, while Kubeflow demands deep K8s expertise. Finally, it prescribes Airflow for Python-centric ETL with lighter ML, and Kubeflow for GPU training at scale.
