Varun Vasudev commented on YARN-4262: ------------------------------------- +1. I'll commit this on Mnonday if no one objects. > Allow whitelisted users to run privileged docker containers. > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-4262 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4262 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: yarn > Reporter: Sidharta Seethana > Assignee: Sidharta Seethana > Attachments: YARN-4262.001.patch, YARN-4262.002.patch, > YARN-4262.003.patch > > > (Updated based on discussion in the JIRA) > There are scenarios where privileged containers are necessary in order to run > certain kinds of applications (one example is trying to run postresql/oracle > inside containers). However, given the security implications, we should > ensure that : > 1) privileged containers are disabled by default > 2) if enabled, only a whitelisted set of users should be allowed to launch > such containers and > 3) Not all containers launched by whitelisted users need to be privileged > containers : whitelisted users need to explicitly request that a privileged > container be launched. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
