Deploy Ollama to Kubernetes

Prerequisites

• Ollama: https://ollama.ai/download
• Kubernetes cluster. This example will use Google Kubernetes Engine.

Steps

1. Create the Ollama namespace, daemon set, and service

   kubectl apply -f cpu.yaml
   

2. Port forward the Ollama service to connect and use it locally

   kubectl -n ollama port-forward service/ollama 11434:80
   

3. Pull and run orca-mini:3b

   ollama run orca-mini:3b
   

(Optional) Hardware Acceleration

Hardware acceleration in Kubernetes requires NVIDIA's k8s-device-plugin. Follow the link for more details.

Once configured, create a GPU enabled Ollama deployment.

kubectl apply -f gpu.yaml
