Raw Fork/Exec Driver

Name: raw_exec

The raw_exec driver is used to execute a command for a task without any resource isolation. As such, it should be used with extreme care and is disabled by default.

Task Configuration

The raw_exec driver supports the following configuration in the job spec:

• command - The command to execute. Must be provided.

• args - The argument list to the command, space seperated. Optional.

Client Requirements

The raw_exec driver can run on all supported operating systems. It is however disabled by default. In order to be enabled, the Nomad client configuration must explicitly enable the raw_exec driver in the options field:

options = {
    driver.raw_exec.enable = "1"
}

Client Attributes

The raw_exec driver will set the following client attributes:

• driver.raw_exec - This will be set to "1", indicating the driver is available.
