Specify container image programatically

[flybd5]

What feature do you want to see added?

On standard nodes, a pipeline can programmatically specify which Docker container to run. It would be very useful for pipelines to be able do the same with Cloud Nodes, especially in Admin-restricted environments where the admin is forced to create a cloud node template for every container users would like to use.

This is counter to the design of the docker plugin. It expects that the interface between the user and the cloud agents is done through labels. Shifting the burden for container definition onto the consumer of the container feels like the wrong direction for this plugin.

Nobody is asking anyone to "shift the burden" to anything. Those words are nowhere in my enhancement request. The enhancement request is for the ability to allow the consumer to programmatically specify which container the cloud agent should run, instead of having to hard-code it in the definition of the agent. The Docker Plugin after all is nothing more than an interface to the Docker host's API. The Docker Pipeline plugin has allowed this from day one.
