Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for cloud native application orchestration and management. An increasing number of applications are being reconstructed or built to employ Kubernetes. High performance computing (HPC) is a popular distributed computing mode and is widely used in many fields. For users who have deployed HPC applications and are eager to containerize and manage their applications using Kubernetes, Volcano, CNCF's first distributed scheduling system for batch computing, is a good choice. Volcano supports multiple types of computing frameworks, such as Spark, TensorFlow, and Message Passing Interface (MPI). This article uses a traditional HPC application, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, as an example to describe how Volcano works for HPC applications.

The easiest way to deploy Volcano is using Helm charts.

Preparation​

Clone the repository to a local path:

# mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/volcano.sh/
# cd $GOPATH/src/volcano.sh/
# git clone https://github.com/volcano-sh/volcano.git

1. Volcano Images​

Official images are available on DockerHub. You can also build local images by running the following command:

cd $GOPATH/src/volcano.sh/volcano
make images
## Verify your images.
# docker images
REPOSITORY                 TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
volcanosh/vk-admission     latest              a83338506638        8 seconds ago       41.4MB
volcanosh/vk-scheduler     latest              faa3c2a25ac3        9 seconds ago       49.6MB
volcanosh/vk-controllers   latest              7b11606ebfb8        10 seconds ago      44.2MB

NOTE: Ensure that the images are correctly loaded to your Kubernetes cluster. For example, if you are using kind luster, run the kind load docker-image <image-name>:<tag> command for each image.
