CircleCI Go Report Card

Armada

Armada is a multi-Kubernetes cluster batch job scheduler.

Armada is designed to address the following issues:

  1. A single Kubernetes cluster can not be scaled indefinitely, and managing very large Kubernetes clusters is challenging. Hence, Armada is a multi-cluster scheduler built on top of several Kubernetes clusters.
  2. Achieving very high throughput using the in-cluster storage backend, etcd, is challenging. Hence, queueing and scheduling is performed partly out-of-cluster using a specialized storage layer.

Armada is designed primarily for machine learning, AI, and data analytics workloads, and to:

  • Manage compute clusters composed of tens of thousands of nodes in total.
  • Schedule a thousand or more pods per second, on average.
  • Enqueue tens of thousands of jobs over a few seconds.
  • Divide resources fairly between users.
  • Provide visibility for users and admins.
  • Ensure near-constant uptime.

Armada is a CNCF Sandbox project used in production at G-Research.
