## From the publisher

Volcano is a cloud native batch scheduler for Kubernetes, built for high-performance computing, AI/ML, and other batch workloads. Headlamp is an extensible Kubernetes web UI. With its plugin system, Headlamp can surface APIs and workflows beyond the built-in Kubernetes resources. The Volcano plugin brings core Volcano resources into Headlamp so you can inspect workload state, queue behavior, and gang scheduling details in one place. Kubernetes was originally designed around long-running services, where applications are expected to start and remain available over time. Batch, AI/ML, and HPC workloads often behave differently: jobs arrive dynamically, compete for limited resources, and may need multiple workers to start together before useful work can begin. Volcano extends Kubernetes with concepts such as queues, priorities, quotas, and gang scheduling.
