Volcano positions itself as a unified AI scheduler that moves beyond batch to coordinate multiple schedulers and workload types, implementing queue and gang scheduling and a new agent scheduler to handle bursty, latency‑sensitive agent tasks concurrently with batch training. It models network domains with a HyperNode CRD (auto‑discovery for NVIDIA FAB and node labels) to surface switch bandwidth and congestion for topology‑aware placement. It integrates LLM serving stacks like Kthena and vLLM, and ships Casino (token‑aware autoscaling, KB cache, PD‑group routing) and AgentCube (agent primitives + SDK) while adding GPU sharing, DRA, and heterogeneous pooling.
