v1.5.0-Beta

What's New

Support Task Dependency

In most mainstream computing platforms such as MPI and Tensorflow, different pods undertake different roles, for example, master/worker. It is necessary to start master or worker first due to the working principle for different platforms. This feature aims to provide the ability to make the start order correct. More details please refer to https://github.com/volcano-sh/volcano/blob/master/docs/design/task-launch-order-within-job.md. (#1920, #1833, @hwdef @shinytang6 @Thor-wl )

Support Reserve Resource for Queue

This feature provides the ability to reserve resources for specified queues in order to make sure there is always guaranteed resources for urgent jobs instead of waiting for resource release or being preempted. More details please refer to https://github.com/volcano-sh/volcano/blob/master/docs/design/queue-guarantee-resource-reservation-design.md (#1905, #1904, @qiankunli )

Support Specified Nodes for Volcano in Cluster

In some scenarios such as multiple schedulers, it is necessary for Volcano to be only responsible for part of nodes in the cluster. This feature enable users to configure the nodes that are responsible for the Volcano. More details can be referred to #1834 (#1821, @qiankunli )

Add Tendorflow Job Plugin

Volcano provides a unified object for job management which allows user to run AI training such as Tensorflow, Pytorch, Mxnet, MPI with Volcano Job and enjoy the enhanced lifecycle management. However it is a bit complex for some users. This features is to add Tensorflow plugin based on Volcano job plugin framework which reduces the complexity of running Tensorflow with Volcano and make it easy to use. More details can be referred to https://github.com/volcano-sh/volcano/blob/master/docs/design/distributed-framework-plugins.md (#1874, @LuBingtan )
