Setup default LocalQueue

This page describes how to setup default LocalQueue to ensure that all Workloads submitted to a specific namespace are managed by Kueue, even if the kueue.x-k8s.io/queue-name label is not specified explicitly.

Setup default LocalQueue

LocalQueueDefaulting is a feature that allows the use of a LocalQueue with name default as the default LocalQueue for workloads in the same namespace that do not have the kueue.x-k8s.io/queue-name label.

To use this feature:

• create a LocalQueue with the name default in a namespace.

That’s all! Now, to test the feature, create a Job in the same namespace. Observe that the Job is updated with the kueue.x-k8s.io/queue-name: default label.

Note that workloads created in a different namespace or workloads that already have the kueue.x-k8s.io/queue-name label won’t be modified.
