Introduction
Volcano is a batch processing platform based on Kubernetes. It provides a series of features required by machine learning, deep learning, bioinformatics, genomics, and other big data applications, as a powerful supplement to Kubernetes capabilities.
Volcano provides general-purpose, high-performance computing capabilities, such as job scheduling engine, heterogeneous chip management, and job running management, serving end users through computing frameworks for different industries, such as AI, big data, gene sequencing, and rendering. (Volcano has been open-sourced in GitHub.)
Volcano provides job scheduling, job management, and queue management for computing applications. Its main features are as follows:
- Diverse computing frameworks, such as TensorFlow, MPI, and Spark, can run on Kubernetes in containers. Common APIs for batch computing jobs through CRD, various plug-ins, and advanced job lifecycle management are provided.
- Advanced scheduling capabilities are provided for batch computing and high-performance computing scenarios, including group scheduling, preemptive priority scheduling, packing, resource reservation, and task topology.
- Queues can be effectively managed for scheduling jobs. Complex job scheduling capabilities such as queue priority and multi-level queues are supported.

Installing the Add-on
Log in to the CCE console, click the cluster name, and access the cluster console. Choose Add-ons in the navigation pane, locate volcano on the right, and click Install.
Select Standalone, Custom, or HA for Add-on Specifications.
If you select Custom, the recommended values of volcano-controller and volcano-scheduler are as follows:
If the number of nodes is less than 100, retain the default configuration. That is, the CPU request value is 500m, and the limit value is 2000m. The memory request value is 500Mi, and the limit value is 2000Mi.
If the number of nodes is greater than 100, increase the CPU request value by 500m and the memory request value by 1000Mi each time 100 nodes (10000 pods) are added. You are advised to increase the CPU limit value by 1500m and the memory limit by 1000Mi.
Table 1 Recommended values for volcano-controller and volcano-scheduler Number of Node/Pod CPU Request(m) CPU Limit(m) Memory Request(Mi) Memory Limit(Mi) 50/5k 500 2000 500 2000 100/1w 1000 2500 1500 2500 200/2w 1500 3000 2500 3500 300/3w 2000 3500 3500 4500 400/4w 2500 4000 4500 5500

Modifying the volcano-scheduler Configuration Using the Console
Volcano allows you to configure the scheduler during installation, upgrade, and editing. The configuration will be synchronized to volcano-scheduler-configmap.
This section describes how to configure the volcano scheduler.
Note
Only Volcano of v1.7.1 and later support this function. On the new plug-in page, options such as plugins.eas_service and resource_exporter_enable are replaced by default_scheduler_conf.
Log in to the CCE console and access the cluster console. Choose Add-ons in the navigation pane. On the right of the page, locate volcano and click Install or Upgrade. In the Parameters area, configure the volcano scheduler parameters.
Using resource_exporter:
{ "ca_cert": "", "default_scheduler_conf": { "actions": "allocate, backfill", "tiers": [ { "plugins": [ { "name": "priority" }, { "name": "gang" }, { "name": "conformance" } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "drf" }, { "name": "predicates" }, { "name": "nodeorder" } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "cce-gpu-topology-predicate" }, { "name": "cce-gpu-topology-priority" }, { "name": "cce-gpu" }, { "name": "numa-aware" # add this also enable resource_exporter } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "nodelocalvolume" }, { "name": "nodeemptydirvolume" }, { "name": "nodeCSIscheduling" }, { "name": "networkresource" } ] } ] }, "server_cert": "", "server_key": "" }After this function is enabled, you can use the functions of the numa-aware plug-in and resource_exporter at the same time.
Using eas_service:
{ "ca_cert": "", "default_scheduler_conf": { "actions": "allocate, backfill", "tiers": [ { "plugins": [ { "name": "priority" }, { "name": "gang" }, { "name": "conformance" } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "drf" }, { "name": "predicates" }, { "name": "nodeorder" } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "cce-gpu-topology-predicate" }, { "name": "cce-gpu-topology-priority" }, { "name": "cce-gpu" }, { "name": "eas", "custom": { "availability_zone_id": "", "driver_id": "", "endpoint": "", "flavor_id": "", "network_type": "", "network_virtual_subnet_id": "", "pool_id": "", "project_id": "", "secret_name": "eas-service-secret" } } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "nodelocalvolume" }, { "name": "nodeemptydirvolume" }, { "name": "nodeCSIscheduling" }, { "name": "networkresource" } ] } ] }, "server_cert": "", "server_key": "" }Using ief:
{ "ca_cert": "", "default_scheduler_conf": { "actions": "allocate, backfill", "tiers": [ { "plugins": [ { "name": "priority" }, { "name": "gang" }, { "name": "conformance" } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "drf" }, { "name": "predicates" }, { "name": "nodeorder" } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "cce-gpu-topology-predicate" }, { "name": "cce-gpu-topology-priority" }, { "name": "cce-gpu" }, { "name": "ief", "enableBestNode": true } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "nodelocalvolume" }, { "name": "nodeemptydirvolume" }, { "name": "nodeCSIscheduling" }, { "name": "networkresource" } ] } ] }, "server_cert": "", "server_key": "" }
Retaining the Original volcano-scheduler-configmap Configuration
If you want to use the original configuration after the plug-in is upgraded, perform the following steps:
Check and back up the original volcano-scheduler-configmap configuration.
Example:
# kubectl edit cm volcano-scheduler-configmap -n kube-system apiVersion: v1 data: default-scheduler.conf: |- actions: "enqueue, allocate, backfill" tiers: - plugins: - name: priority - name: gang - name: conformance - plugins: - name: drf - name: predicates - name: nodeorder - name: binpack arguments: binpack.cpu: 100 binpack.weight: 10 binpack.resources: nvidia.com/gpu binpack.resources.nvidia.com/gpu: 10000 - plugins: - name: cce-gpu-topology-predicate - name: cce-gpu-topology-priority - name: cce-gpu - plugins: - name: nodelocalvolume - name: nodeemptydirvolume - name: nodeCSIscheduling - name: networkresourceEnter the customized content in the Parameters on the console.
{ "ca_cert": "", "default_scheduler_conf": { "actions": "enqueue, allocate, backfill", "tiers": [ { "plugins": [ { "name": "priority" }, { "name": "gang" }, { "name": "conformance" } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "drf" }, { "name": "predicates" }, { "name": "nodeorder" }, { "name": "binpack", "arguments": { "binpack.cpu": 100, "binpack.weight": 10, "binpack.resources": "nvidia.com/gpu", "binpack.resources.nvidia.com/gpu": 10000 } } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "cce-gpu-topology-predicate" }, { "name": "cce-gpu-topology-priority" }, { "name": "cce-gpu" } ] }, { "plugins": [ { "name": "nodelocalvolume" }, { "name": "nodeemptydirvolume" }, { "name": "nodeCSIscheduling" }, { "name": "networkresource" } ] } ] }, "server_cert": "", "server_key": "" }Note
When this function is used, the original content in volcano-scheduler-configmap will be overwritten. Therefore, you must check whether volcano-scheduler-configmap has been modified during the upgrade. If yes, synchronize the modification to the upgrade page.
