Provider

The Provider resource represents the provider specific configuration required to submit / update / delete ml resources with the given provider. e.g Kubeflow Pipelines or the Vertex AI Platform. Providers configuration can be set using this resource and permissions for access can be configured via service accounts.

Common Fields

Name	Description	Example
`spec.image`*	Container image of the provider	`kfp-operator-kfp-provider:0.0.2`
`spec.executionMode`*	KFP compiler execution mode	`v1` (currently KFP) or `v2` (Vertex AI)
`spec.serviceAccount`*	Service Account name to be used for all provider-specific operations (see respective provider)	`kfp-operator-vertex-ai`
`spec.defaultBeamArgs`	Default Beam arguments to which the pipeline-defined ones will be added	- name: project value: my-gcp-project
`spec.pipelineRootStorage`	The storage location used by TFX (`pipeline-root`) to store pipeline artifacts and outputs - this should be a top-level directory and not specific to a single pipeline	`gcs://kubeflow-pipelines-bucket`
