+# components-mlflow
+
+## Purpose
+
+This component enables the MLFlow Operator in the DataScienceCluster. MLFlow is used for experiment tracking in your AI Pipelines.
+
+## Usage
+
+This component can be added to a base by adding the `components` section to your overlay `kustomization.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
+kind: Kustomization
+
+resources:
+  - ../../base
+
+components:
+  - ../../components/components-mlflow
+```
