Whether on-premises or in the cloud, clusters face real constraints for resource usage, quota, and cost management reasons. Regardless of the autoscalling capabilities, clusters have finite capacity. As a result, users want an easy way to fairly and efficiently share resources.
In this article, we introduce Kueue, an open source job queueing controller designed to manage batch jobs as a single unit. Kueue leaves pod-level orchestration to existing stable components of Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. With Kubernetes, developers can deploy applications across clusters of machines, ensuring high availability, scalability, and resilience. Developers can learn about Kubernetes' architecture, core concepts, and deployment strategies, and gain hands-on experience with managing containerized workloads using Kubernetes.

Kueue is an open source job queueing controller designed to manage batch jobs as a single unit. It leaves pod-level orchestration to existing stable components of Kubernetes. In its simplest form, a LocalQueue is a pointer to the ClusterQueue that the tenant can use to start their jobs. For more details, take a look at the API concepts documentation.

Introducing Kueue

<p>That’s an interesting development for Kubernetes. Pretty sure soon the cloud providers will develop adapters for Kueue and their vendor counterpart</p>
