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.
