Short answer: yes, the plugin does need the fs to get status and logs.
Widening a bit the context, we started to look at a mode in which the plugin can do everything without the shared fs, but since there was no immediate use cases, we did not invest in it.
Nevertheless, recently we started getting to scenarios where the SLURM rest interaction can have a lot of benefits (as you mention), so we are planning to rewamp the activity after the summer. Unless someone come up volunteering to work on it.
Ok, I am only asking this because this is a workaround for deploying the interlink slurm plugin easily, for test purpose.
But we are also thinking the kubernetes cluster should have access to the shared FS, so this would not be an issue anymore.
Not an issue but doc clarification related to https://intertwin-eu.github.io/interLink/docs/tutorial-admins/deploy-interlink#requirements-1
Due to security and test reasons, I would like to put the interlink slurm plugin directly in the Kubernetes cluster. The plugin would then run sbatch jobs directly from there.
According to the doc, the plugin requires:
My biggest question is: does the interlink slurm plugin needs direct access to the shared FS too? (to get the logs or some result?)
