Kevin Klues commented on MESOS-5401:
------------------------------------
The crux of the issue is that we need to be able consolidate all of the Nvidia
binaries/libraries into a single volume that we inject into
a docker container. The goal is to let users leverage the nvidia Docker images
(https://hub.docker.com/r/nvidia/) without any added effort on their behalf.
Using docker they are able to launch containers from these images by simply
running `nvidia-docker run ...` (i.e. they are
unaware that a magic volume is being injected on their behalf). On Mesos we
want the experience to be similar.
The information at the link below should make things a bit more clear as to why
this is necessary:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/wiki/NVIDIA-driver.
We originally planned on building this functionality as an isolator module, but
there some some limitations with the current isolator interface that prohibit
us from doing this properly. Building it as an isolator module would also mean
that it couldn't be shared by the docker containerizer (which we plan to add
support for in the future).
