12/12/2025, 8:22 PMschedulerName for Airbyte jobs. [[Configuring jobs](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/operator-guides/configuring-airbyte#jobs)] The job-specific overrides (for spec, check, discover) also only cover node selectors and annotations, not the scheduler. [[Jobs-specific](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/operator-guides/configuring-airbyte#jobs-specific)] The referenced GitHub and forum content show example pod specs including schedulerName: default-scheduler, but they do not mention any configuration knob in Airbyte to change this. [[Forum pods stuck](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/2545); [Helm workload pods issue](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/50979)] So, with the information available: - There is no documented, supported way to configure a custom schedulerName for Airbyte jobs. - If you must enforce bin-packing or alternative scheduling, you’d need to rely on Kubernetes-level mechanisms (e.g., custom scheduler behavior on the default scheduler, node selectors, tolerations, and annotations) rather than a per-job schedulerName setting from Airbyte. If you need this capability, the next step would be to open a feature request in the Airbyte GitHub repo describing your bin-packing/scheduler use case.
