-----------------------------------------
Hi [~aw],
I did consider using a separate list. Running a privileged container in some
ways provides the equivalent of superuser access to the underlying node. So,
the question here would be : should we expose such functionality to anybody who
is not in the 'admin' role for the cluster? Thoughts?
thanks,

> 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, even for admins
> 2) if enabled, only admins should be allowed to launch such containers and
> 3) Not all containers launched by admin users need to be privileged
> containers : admin users need to explicitly request that a privileged
> container be launched.
