Volcanovolcano.shVolcano is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation incubating project that provides a cloud-native batch scheduling system for compute-intensive workloads on Kubernetes, unifying scheduling for Kubernetes-native jobs and mainstream computing frameworks (TensorFlow, Spark, PyTorch, Ray, Flink, etc.). It features multi-level queue management, heterogeneous device support (GPUs/NPUs), network topology-aware scheduling, multi-cluster scheduling, colocated online/offline workloads, load-aware descheduling, and multiple scheduling policies (Gang, Fair-Share, Binpack, DeviceShare, NUMA-aware, etc.). It integrates with a wide range of frameworks and tools (Spark, Flink, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Argo, MindSpore, Ray, Kubeflow, Open MPI, Horovod, MXNet, PaddlePaddle) to enable scalable AI, big data, and scientific computing on Kubernetes.
