### SIG Scheduling

[SIG Scheduling][] is responsible for generic scheduler and scheduling components.

For the 1.8 release, SIG Scheduling extended the concept of cluster sharing by introducing
pod priority and pod preemption. These features allow mixing various types of workloads in a single cluster, and help reach
higher levels of resource utilization and availability.

[SIG Storage](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/sig-storage) is responsible for storage and volume plugin components.
