[jira] [Commented] (MESOS-2830) Add an endpoint to slaves to allow launching system administration tasks

["Marco Massenzio (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2830?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14620112#comment-14620112 ] 

Marco Massenzio commented on MESOS-2830:
----------------------------------------

Ok - I have a working prototype, needs some engineering work, but I now have a basic understanding of how this would work for the Slave.
I'll progress the design doc and present it for discussion; probably tomorrow (well, today).

Uses a {{POST /execute}} of a JSON-encoded {{CommandInfo}} and will return the {{JSON}}-encoded output of the command (or something along those lines).

> As a System Administrator often times I need to run a organization-mandated task on every machine in the cluster. Ideally I could do this within the framework of mesos resources if it is a "cleanup" or auditing task, but sometimes I just have to run something, and run it now, regardless if a machine has un-accounted resources  (Ex: Adding/removing a user).
> Currently to do this I have to completely bypass Mesos and SSH to the box. Ideally I could tell a mesos slave (With proper authentication) to run a container with the limited special permissions needed to get the task done.
