Aurora has optional support for launching Docker containers, if correctly configured by an Operator.
Example (available in the Vagrant environment):
$ cat /vagrant/examples/jobs/docker/hello_docker.aurora
hello_docker = Process(
name = 'hello',
cmdline = """
while true; do
echo hello world
sleep 10
done
""")
hello_world_docker = Task(
name = 'hello docker',
processes = [hello_world_proc],
resources = Resources(cpu = 1, ram = 1*MB, disk=8*MB)
)
jobs = [
Service(
cluster = 'devcluster',
environment = 'devel',
role = 'docker-test',
name = 'hello_docker',
task = hello_world_docker,
container = Container(docker = Docker(image = 'python:2.7'))
)
]
In order to correctly execute processes inside a job, the docker container must have Python 2.7 installed. Further details of how to use Docker can be found in the Reference Documentation.
