SIG Scheduling is responsible for the components that make Pod scheduling decisions in a Kubernetes cluster, such as kube-scheduler for pod to node assignment, kueue for job queueing, Kwok for scheduling load testing, among other projects. In this session, you will learn the basics of these projects and how they can be extended. You will also learn about our recent advancements and ongoing work, such as higher scheduling throughput in kube-scheduler, fair sharing and hierarchical cohorts in Kueue and evaluating performance and scalability efficiently using Kwok.

Salt Palace | Level 3| 355 B

SIG-Multicluster is focused on solving common challenges related to the management of many Kubernetes clusters, and applications deployed across many clusters, or even across cloud providers. In this session, we'll give attendees an overview of the current status of the multi-cluster problem space in Kubernetes and of the SIG. We’ll discuss current thinking around best practices for multi-cluster deployments and what it means to be part of a ClusterSet. Then we’ll highlight current SIG projects, focused use cases, and ideas for what’s next. Most importantly, we’ll provide information on how you can get involved either as a contributor or as a user who wants to provide feedback about the SIG's current efforts and future direction. Bring your questions, problems, and ideas - help us expand the multi-cluster Kubernetes landscape!

Wednesday November 13, 2024 3:25pm - 4:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 3| 355 B

Kubernetes SIG Node maintainers track session will cover the latest updates in the Kubernetes Node subsystem. The emergence of Generative AI has introduced new challenges and workload behaviors. And SIG Node is up for the challenge. SIG Node owns components and interactions between pods and host resources, including the Kubelet, Container Runtime Interface, and Node API. SIG Node is responsible for the Pod’s lifecycle from allocation to teardown, to liveness checks and shared resource management. We work with various container runtimes, kernels, networking, storage, and more; anything a pod touches is SIG Node’s responsibility! The session will be led by Kubernetes SIG Node leads and will be interesting for seasoned contributors as well as people seeking to get involved in the project. Attendees will leave the session with a better understanding of the latest developments in the Kubernetes Node subsystem. The session is open to all Kubernetes users, regardless of experience level.
