When NOT to use volcano
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If you are looking for an agentless management system since Volcano might require the deployment of agents for full functionality.
- In environments where simplicity is more valued than feature richness, as Volcano's setup and maintenance can be more complex compared to simpler batch systems.
