# Openshift and Kubernetes operator


This operator is now deprecated. The recommended methods for deploying OpenVINO Model Server in Kubernetes are currently:
- [KServer operator](https://kserve.github.io/website/) - check [more details about deployment](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/model_server/blob/main/docs/deploying_server_kubernetes.md)
- [OPEA Enterprise](https://github.com/opea-project/Enterprise-Inference)- check [more details about deployment](https://github.com/opea-project/Enterprise-Inference/blob/main/docs/ovms-model-deploy-guide.md)


---

The Operator installs and manages [OpenVINO model servers](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/model_server) in an OpenShift cluster and upstream Kubernetes. It enables inference execution at scale and exposes AI models via gRPC and REST API interfaces.
The operator is using a [model server helm chart](helm-charts/ovms/) which can be also used directly.

The Operator also integrates with the JupyterHub Spawner in Red Hat OpenShift Data Science and Open Data Hub. See detailed instructions below.
