**Product Naming Update**
Seldon’s current open-source platform has been renamed Seldon Core to allow us to distinguish our open-source machine learning deployment platform from a new product that we are currently working on. We will share more info with you soon and will reach out to this group for beta testers.
Seldon Core 1.4.4. includes various updates:
* [Kubernetes persistent volumes](http://docs.seldon.io/install.htmlstorage) are abstracted by using Persistent Volume Claims. Fixes issue 50.
* All components run as Kubernetes Deployments. Fixes issue 49.
* Initial beta ability to run [external Google MySQL](http://docs.seldon.io/install.htmlmysql) server outside Kubernetes.
* [Updated luigi configuration](http://docs.seldon.io/content-recommendation-guide.htmlmodel) for describing ML pipelines and built-in algorithms.
Thanks to colemickens for submitting both of the above issues!
