Kueue is a kubernetes-native system that manages quotas and how jobs consume them. Kueue decides when a job should wait, when a job should be admitted to start (as in pods can be created) and when a job should be preempted (as in active pods should be deleted).

​
1. Install kueue via kubectl

Create a Kubernetes cluster with talosctl or via Omni. Run Kueue via the release manifest 
kubectl apply --server-side -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kueue/releases/download/v0.14.2/manifests.yaml
To get metrics from jobs you also need to have Prometheus installed and servicemonitor CRDs.

​
2. Install Prometheus operator

The Prometheus Operator will scrape metrics from your jobs so you can observe their status. 
LATEST=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator/releases/latest | jq -cr .tag_name)
curl -sL https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator/releases/download/${LATEST}/bundle.yaml | kubectl create -f -
Instructions on how to install the Prometheus Operator via kustomize or Helm can be found in their documentation.

​
3. Install servicemonitor CRD

The final step is to add the CRD for Prometheus to scrape the jobs. 
kubectl apply --server-side -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kueue/releases/download/v0.14.2/prometheus.yaml
To use Kueue please refere to the official Kueue documentation.
