Koordinator

Purpose: Koordinator is a QoS-based scheduling system for efficient orchestration of microservices, AI and big-data workloads on Kubernetes.
QoS and priority: It provides priority and QoS mechanisms to co-locate different workload types and run different pods on one node.
Resource overcommitment: It supports resource overcommitment using application profiling while maintaining QoS guarantees.
Resource isolation: It provides fine-grained resource orchestration and isolation for latency-sensitive workloads and batch jobs.
Job scheduling: Its job-scheduling mechanisms support workloads in areas including big data, AI, audio and video.
Operations tooling: Koordinator includes tools for monitoring, troubleshooting and operations.
Kubernetes compatibility: Koordinator is compatible with Kubernetes QoS and its scheduler is designed to enhance kube-scheduler rather than replace it.
Integration model: It runs with control-plane and node components in a Kubernetes cluster without invasive modifications to native Kubernetes components.
Installation: Koordinator can be installed with Helm 3.5 or newer, and the installation documentation requires Kubernetes 1.18 or newer.
NRI support: NRI mode resource management requires containerd 1.7.0 or newer with NRI enabled and is enabled by default in Koordinator.
Queue integrations: Koord-Queue supports TFJob, PyTorchJob, Spark, Argo Workflow, Ray and native Kubernetes Jobs, and is compatible with Kueue's AdmissionCheck API.
Webhook security: Koordinator webhooks use least-privilege service accounts, TLS with automatically managed certificates, input validation, rate limiting and audit logging.
License: The Koordinator project is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
Vulnerability reporting: The project asks users to report vulnerabilities by email to [email protected].
