The Kubernetes community has been hard at work enhancing the scheduling of workloads. In 2026, the community started adding support for workload aware scheduling and this work was eventually folded into a working group. In this session, we will highlight the APIs added, provide details on the in-tree roadmap and the goal of the working group with respect to the ecosystem.

We will discuss the integrations with Kueue and popular workload controllers like JobSet. This session will provide the roadmap and future plans for the working group. We are also looking for engagement from the community.
