Kueue is a set of APIs and controller for [job](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/workload)

[queueing](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts#queueing). It is a job-level manager that decides when

a job should be [admitted](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts#admission) to start (as in pods can be

created) and when it should stop (as in active pods should be deleted).



Read the [overview](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/overview/) and watch the Kueue-related [talks & presentations](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/talks_and_presentations/) to learn more.



## Features overview



- **Job management:** Support job queueing based on [priorities](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/workload/#priority) with different [strategies](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster_queue/#queueing-strategy): `StrictFIFO` and `BestEffortFIFO`.

- **Advanced Resource management:** Comprising: [resource flavor fungibility](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster_queue/#flavorfungibility), [fair sharing](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/preemption/#fair-sharing), [cohorts](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster_queue/#cohort) and [preemption](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/cluster_queue/#preemption) with a variety of policies between different tenants.

- **Integrations:** Built-in support for popular jobs, e.g. [BatchJob](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/run/jobs/), [Kubeflow training jobs](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/run/kubeflow/), [RayJob](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/run/rayjobs/), [RayCluster](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/run/rayclusters/), [JobSet](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/run/jobsets/),  [plain Pod and Pod Groups](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/run/plain_pods/).

- **System insight:** Build-in [prometheus metrics](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/metrics/) to help monitor the state of the system, and on-demand visibility endpoint for [monitoring of pending workloads](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/manage/monitor_pending_workloads/pending_workloads_on_demand/).

- **AdmissionChecks:** A mechanism for internal or external components to influence whether a workload can be [admitted](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/admission_check/).

- **Advanced autoscaling support:** Integration with cluster-autoscaler's [provisioningRequest](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/admission-check-controllers/provisioning/#job-using-a-provisioningrequest) via admissionChecks.

- **All-or-nothing with ready Pods:** A timeout-based implementation of [All-or-nothing scheduling](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/manage/setup_wait_for_pods_ready/).

- **Partial admission and dynamic reclaim:** mechanisms to run a job with [reduced parallelism](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/run/jobs/#partial-admission), based on available quota, and to [release](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/workload/#dynamic-reclaim) the quota the pods complete..

- **Mixing training and inference**: Simultaneous management of batch workloads along with serving workloads (such as [Deployments](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/run/deployment/) or [StatefulSets](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/run/statefulset/))

- **Multi-cluster job dispatching:** called [MultiKueue](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/multikueue/), allows to search for capacity and off-load the main cluster.

- **Topology-Aware Scheduling**: Allows to optimize the Pod-to-Pod communication throughput by [scheduling aware of the data-center topology](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/concepts/topology_aware_scheduling/).

  _Based on community feedback, we continue to simplify and evolve the API to

  address new use cases_.



## Installation



**Requires Kubernetes 1.25 or newer**.



To install the latest release of Kueue in your cluster, run the following command:



```shell

kubectl apply --server-side -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kueue/releases/download/v0.10.1/manifests.yaml

```



The controller runs in the `kueue-system` namespace.



Read the [installation guide](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io/docs/installation/) to learn more.



## Usage



A minimal configuration can be set by running the [examples](site/static/examples):



```shell

kubectl apply -f examples/admin/single-clusterqueue-setup.yaml

```



Then you can run a job with:



```shell

kubectl create -f examples/jobs/sample-job.yaml

```
