Kubernetes v1.35: Job Managed By Goes GA

Kubernetes v1.35: Job Managed By Goes GA Why delegate Job reconciliation? How. spec. managedBy works Ecosystem Adoption How can you learn more? Acknowledgments Get involved In Kubernetes v1.35, the ability to specify an external Job controller (through. spec. managedBy ) graduates to General Availability. spec. managedBy This feature allows external controllers to take full responsibility for Job reconciliation, unlocking powerful scheduling patterns like multi-cluster dispatching with MultiKueue. The primary motivation for this feature is to support multi-cluster batch scheduling architectures, such as MultiKueue. The MultiKueue architecture distinguishes between a Management Cluster and a pool of Worker Clusters: The Management Cluster is responsible for dispatching Jobs but not executing them. It needs to accept Job objects to track status, but it skips the creation and execution of Pods. The Worker Clusters receive the dispatched Jobs and execute the actual Pods. Users usually interact with the Management Cluster.
