Disclosure: I work at Google on Kubeflow That's fair - the reality is that it's less about the worry of people "taking of models and running it themselves", it's more about the amount of custom stuff that has to go on behind the scenes in order to enable this kind of model exploration and training. We're exploring all options but, yes, you'd be committing to the platform (for now). If you're interested in a portable solution, may I recommend (extremely selfishly) Kubeflow[1]? We don't provide AutoML, but we do provide a very portable solution for running an ML stack. [1] https://github.com/google/kubeflow https://github.com/google/kubeflow
