    From the README

    Kueue is a set of APIs and controller for job queueing. It is a job-level manager that decides when a job should be admitted to start (as in pods can be created) and when it should stop (as in active pods should be deleted).

    Read the overview and watch the Kueue-related talks & presentations to learn more.

    Based on community feedback, we continue to simplify and evolve the API to address new use cases.
