Volcano: Orchestrating the Full AI Lifecycle – From Training to Inference and Agents

The rapid evolution of AI has led to infrastructure fragmentation, where training, inference, and agent workloads run in isolated systems, causing resource inefficiency. Volcano addresses this as a Unified Scheduling Platform for the full AI lifecycle, delivering robust scheduling capabilities with high throughput.

Volcano is evolving into the next-generation platform capable of orchestrating diverse workloads beyond batch jobs, enabling multi-scheduler coordination.

At the workload layer:
- Volcano-Global splits massive training jobs across clusters, removing single-cluster limits
- Kthena delivers enterprise-grade LLM serving with frameworks like vLLM
- AgentCube enables rapid agent workload scheduling

At the infra layer, Volcano provides modern resource abstraction through DRA integration, HyperNode discovery, GPU sharing, and heterogeneous pooling for efficient task-to-accelerator mapping.

Join us to explore how Volcano is shaping the future of Cloud Native AI infra.
