Hi @HaiyangDING Seems based on the latest k8s version, using "kube-scheduler --help" command, still show the only "DefaultProvider" algorithm, not included others, as "ImageLocalityPriority", "NewNodeLabelPriority", etc... How can I add myself algorithm into the "--help" show list?

kube-scheduler --help
--algorithm-provider="DefaultProvider": The scheduling algorithm provider to use, one of: DefaultProvider

@jianzhangbjz

Hi, a 'algorithm provider' is essentially a 'set' of scheduling rules (i.e. a set of predicates and prioritizers). Here are my thought based on my understanding of your question.

1. To include other predicates and/or priorities that already exist in the library, you need to add them as part of the default scheduler's scheduling policy, namely, edit ./plugin/pkg/scheduler/algorithmprovider/defaults/defaults.go. You can take the codes there as an example of how to do this.
2. To have another algorithm provider other than DefaultProvider, you need to write a new algorithm scheduler package other than package defaults. But be ware, as far as I know, k8s does not support multiple scheduling policies yet, i.e. a pod can not specify which scheduling policy to follow even if you have defined another scheduling policy.

To see more about the modifying the scheduler, please see scheduler and scheduler_algorithm

I hope it helps.

@HaiyangDING Thanks! I will have a try according to your advise.

BTW, I think it is OK to close it. Closing now.
