+An AppWrapper contains a collection of Kubernetes resources than can
+be jointly queued and admitted for execution using [Kueue](https://kueue.sigs.k8s.io).
+AppWrappers provide a flexible and workload-agnostic mechanism for enabling
+Kueue to manage a group of Kubernetes resources
+as a single logical unit without requiring any Kueue-specific support by
+the controllers of those resources.
