Thanks for asking me to work on this. I will get started on it and keep this PR's description up to date as I form a plan and make progress.

Original prompt

Objective

Create a comprehensive, versatile, and flexible Kubeflow Ecosystem overview documentation that includes:

  • Architecture diagrams (ASCII and image references)
  • AI Lifecycle mapping
  • Kubeflow projects breakdown
  • Interface documentation

Requirements

Create a new Markdown file named KUBEFLOW_ECOSYSTEM_OVERVIEW.md with the following complete content:

# Kubeflow Ecosystem: A Versatile & Flexible AI Platform

The **Kubeflow Ecosystem** provides a modular, scalable, and extensible approach to building AI platforms on Kubernetes.

## 5. Detailed AI Lifecycle Stages

### Data Preparation
- **Purpose:** Ingest raw data, perform feature engineering to extract ML features for the offline feature store, and prepare training data for model development.
- **Tools:** Spark, Dask, Flink, Ray, Kubeflow Spark Operator, Feast
- **Kubeflow Integration:** Spark Operator, Feast

### Model Development
- **Purpose:** Choose an ML framework, develop model architecture, and explore existing pre-trained models for fine-tuning (e.g., BERT, Llama).
- **Tools:** TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, HuggingFace
- **Kubeflow Integration:** Notebooks for interactive development and experimentation

### Model Training
- **Purpose:** Train or fine-tune models on large-scale compute environments. Use distributed training if single GPU can't handle model size.
- **Output:** Trained model artif...
