In their own words
Koordinator
Koordinator is a free, self-hosted QoS scheduling system for Kubernetes microservices, AI, big-data, audio, and video workloads. It adds priority and quality-of-service controls so different pods and workload types can share nodes. Application profiling supports resource overcommitment while preserving QoS guarantees, and fine-grained isolation targets latency-sensitive work alongside batch jobs. Customizable policies cover Web Service, Spark, Presto, TensorFlow, and PyTorch. QoSManager tunes pod isolation using profiling, interference detection, and SLO settings. Koord-Queue supports TFJob, PyTorchJob, Spark, Argo Workflow, Ray, and native Kubernetes Jobs, with Kueue AdmissionCheck compatibility. YARN Copilot connects Hadoop YARN jobs with Kubernetes pods. Koordinator works alongside kube-scheduler, using control-plane and node components without invasive native changes. Helm 3.5 or newer and Kubernetes 1.18 or newer are required.
