Volcano is a cloud native batch platform and CNCF's first container batch computing project. It is optimized for AI and Bigdata by providing
the following capabilities:
- Full lifecycle management for jobs
- Scheduling policies for batch workloads
- Support for heterogeneous hardware
- Performance optimization for high performance workloads

This community has integrated with computing ecosystem like spark, flink, kubeflow, ray in big data and AI domains. and The project has been deployed by 50+ users in their production environment.

This year Volcano contributors have made great progress to help users to address challenges for LLM training and inferences. A number of new features are on the way to accelerate the GPU/Ascend NPU training efficiency, optimize resource utilization for large scale clusters and provides fine-grained scheduling.

This talk will presents the latest progress, new features, use cases, new sub-projects and the future of the community.
