With this approach, Kubernetes acts as a resource manager, making resources available to a separate HPC scheduler. Cluster administrators can use a visual interface to allocate resources based on policy or simply drag sliders via a web UI to allocate different proportions of the Kubernetes environment to non-container (HPC) workloads, and native Kubernetes applications and services.
