Concepts

Nova schedules Kubernetes workloads across multiple workload clusters using policy-driven placement.

This section explains:

• how workloads are scheduled
• how placement decisions are made
• how workloads may move over time
• how labels and annotations influence placement behavior

Concept Areas

• Scheduling Overview – how workloads are selected and placed
• Placement Behavior – how Nova groups, spreads, or prioritizes workloads across workload clusters
• Placement Lifecycle – how placement can change after workloads are scheduled
• System Metadata – labels and annotations used by Nova
