Volcano is a batch system built on Kubernetes. It provides a suite of mechanisms that are commonly required by many classes of batch & elastic workload including: machine learning/deep learning, bioinformatics/genomics and other "big data" applications. These types of applications typically run on generalized domain frameworks like TensorFlow, Spark, Ray, PyTorch, MPI, etc, which Volcano integrates with.
Volcano builds upon a decade and a half of experience running a wide variety of high performance workloads at scale using several systems and platforms, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the open source community.
Until June 2021, Volcano has been widely used around the world at a variety of industries such as Internet/Cloud/Finance/ Manufacturing/Medical. More than 20 companies or institutions are not only end users but also active contributors. Hundreds of contributors are taking active part in the code commit/PR review/issue discussion/docs update and design provision. We are looking forward to your participation.
NOTE: the scheduler is built based on kube-batch; refer to #241 and #288 for more detail.
Volcano is an incubating project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Please consider joining the CNCF if you are an organization that wants to take an active role in supporting the growth and evolution of the cloud native ecosystem.

- Kubernetes 1.12+ with CRD support
You can try Volcano by one of the following two ways.
Note:
- For Kubernetes v1.17+ use CRDs under config/crd/bases (recommended)
- For Kubernetes versions < v1.16 use CRDs under config/crd/v1beta1 (deprecated)
Install Volcano on an existing Kubernetes cluster. This way is both available for x86_64 and arm64 architecture.
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/volcano-sh/volcano/master/installer/volcano-development.yaml
Enjoy! Volcano will create the following resources in volcano-system namespace.

To install official release, please visit to helm-charts for details.
helm repo add volcano-sh https://volcano-sh.github.io/helm-charts
helm install volcano volcano-sh/volcano -n volcano-system --create-namespaceInstall from source code for developers:
helm install volcano installer/helm/chart/volcano --namespace volcano-system --create-namespace
# list helm release
helm list -n volcano-systemIf you don't have a kubernetes cluster, try one-click install from code base:
./hack/local-up-volcano.shThis way is only available for x86_64 temporarily.
If you want to get prometheus and grafana volcano dashboard after volcano installed, try following commands:
make TAG=latest generate-yaml
