KubeFlux - An HPC Scheduler Plugin for Kubernetes

Explore KubeFlux, an innovative HPC scheduler plugin for Kubernetes, in this informative conference talk. Discover how KubeFlux bridges the gap between cloud technologies and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. Learn about the challenges faced by HPC users when adopting cloud technologies and how KubeFlux addresses these issues. Gain insights into the Kubernetes Scheduling Framework and its role in enabling new scheduling policies. Understand the key features of KubeFlux, based on the open-source Fluxion HPC scheduler developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Compare the performance of applications scheduled by the Kubernetes default scheduler versus KubeFlux. Explore real-world use cases and potential applications of KubeFlux in various HPC scenarios. Discover how this plugin contributes to the democratization of cloud computing for HPC workloads and opens up new possibilities for enhanced application performance in containerized environments.
