1.1 KiB

Welcome to Volcano

Volcano is a batch system built on Kubernetes. It provides a suite of mechanisms currently missing from Kubernetes that are commonly required by many classes of batch & elastic workload including:

  1. machine learning/deep learning,
  2. bioinformatics/genomics
  3. 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.
