Arun C Murthy commented on YARN-1964: ------------------------------------- [~ashahab] - That's great to hear, awesome! Thanks for taking this up! > Support Docker containers in YARN > --------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-1964 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1964 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Arun C Murthy > Assignee: Abin Shahab > > Docker (https://www.docker.io/) is, increasingly, a very popular container > technology. > In context of YARN, the support for Docker will provide a very elegant > solution to allow applications to *package* their software into a Docker > container (entire Linux file system incl. custom versions of perl, python > etc.) and use it as a blueprint to launch all their YARN containers with > requisite software environment. This provides both consistency (all YARN > containers will have the same software environment) and isolation (no > interference with whatever is installed on the physical machine). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
