The CLI is part of the larger Volcano project rather than a separate standalone scheduler. ### Project history Volcano's README describes the scheduler as extending the standard Kubernetes scheduler for batch and elastic workloads, and notes that the scheduler is built based on `kube-batch`. The project says it incorporates years of high-performance workload operating experience and integrates with frameworks such as Spark, Flink, Ray, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Kubeflow, MPI, Horovod, MXNet, KubeGene, and others. The Volcano project states that it was open-sourced at KubeCon Shanghai in June 2019, became an official CNCF project in April 2020, and was promoted to CNCF Incubating in 2022. The CNCF project page gives the specific dates as acceptance on 9 April 2020 and movement to Incubating maturity on 21 March 2022. ### Adoption history Volcano's own README says that, as of 2025, it has seen adoption across industries including Internet/cloud, finance, manufacturing, and medical sectors, with many organizations acting as both users and contributors. A 2024 release post says more than 600 global developers had committed code to the project, and the README characterizes the project as actively maintained by hundreds of contributors. ### How it is used `vcctl` is used to manage Volcano resources from a terminal. The official CLI documentation shows building the executable with `make vcctl`, then using commands such as `vcctl job list`, job deletion, job suspension and resumption, job running, and queue operations. Volcano's architecture documentation lists `vcctl` alongside scheduler, controller-manager, and admission components. ### Why package nerds care For package users, volcano-cli is the thin operational handle for a much larger Kubernetes scheduling stack. It matters because batch/HPC Kubernetes systems often need a small CLI for inspecting jobs and queues without writing raw Kubernetes API calls or custom scripts. ### Timeline - 2019-06: Volcano is open-sourced at KubeCon Shanghai. - 2020-04-09: Volcano is accepted to CNCF. - 2022-03-21: Volcano moves to CNCF Incubating maturity. - 2024-09-19: Volcano v1.10.0 is released with `vcctl` command-line enhancements. - 2025: The README describes broad adoption across multiple industries and hundreds of active contributors. ### Related projects - Volcano is related to Kubernetes `kube-scheduler`, the earlier `kube-batch` scheduler, and workload frameworks that integrate with batch scheduling such as Spark, Flink, Ray, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Kubeflow, MPI, Horovod, and PaddlePaddle. ### Sources - Volcano CLI documentation: https://volcano.sh/docs/cli/cli/ - Volcano CNCF project page: https://www.cncf.io/projects/volcano/ - Volcano README: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/volcano-sh/volcano/master/README.md - Volcano v1.10.0 release post: https://volcano.sh/blog/volcano-1.10.0-release/ ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** volcano-cli - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [crossplane](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/crossplane/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, cloud-native, kubernetes. - [devspace](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/devspace/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, cloud-native, kubernetes. - [epinio](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/epinio/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, cloud-native, kubernetes. - [glasskube](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/glasskube/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, cloud-native, kubernetes. - [kyma-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kyma-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, cloud-native, kubernetes. - [mesheryctl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mesheryctl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, cloud-native, kubernetes. - [cdk8s](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cdk8s/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. - [chaoskube](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chaoskube/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure, kubernetes. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
