Description

Concourse workers can not launch from eks in fargate due to privileged: true

https://github.com/concourse/concourse-chart/blob/8fe5b300e63337d4d7e2aa662ff996db062c8dc4/templates/worker-statefulset.yaml#L64

The following error is returned from fargate when trying to launch the pod:
Warning FailedScheduling <unknown> fargate-scheduler Pod not supported on Fargate: invalid SecurityContext fields: Privileged

Does this always need to run with privileged: true?
Or just by privileged tasks?

There is a another discussion regarding this flag here:

Research direction

Start with templates/worker-statefulset.yaml at the referenced security-context line, then read the discussion in issue #60. Determine whether the worker pod requires privileged mode for all tasks or only privileged tasks, and verify that the chart can support EKS Fargate without breaking the documented privileged-task behavior.
