KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2018

In this talk, Ad van der Veer and and Boris Mattijssen, software engineers at Nerdalize, will talk about building custom schedulers. The goal is that after this talk attendees understand how to build their own a custom scheduler, and are familiar with the tools to do so.

As an example they will use a heat-aware scheduler that was developed by Nerdalize to allow them to schedule compute jobs to servers where more heat is needed.

This unique need arises from the situation that Nerdalize builds a distributed datacenter, where servers are placed into households, and double as water heaters. After someone takes a shower, their boiler needs to be re-heated. This scheduler allows us to move high-cpu workloads to those servers.
