Description

HTCondor is the leading system for building a dynamic overlay batch scheduling system on resources managed by any scheduling system, by means of glideins. One fundamental property of these setups is the use of late binding of containerized user workloads. From a resource provider point of view, a compute resource is thus claimed before the user container image is selected. Kubernetes allows for both multi-container requests and dynamic updates to the container image being used. In this talk we show how HTCondor can exploit these features to both increase the effectiveness and the security of gildeins running on top of Kubernetes-managed resources.
