• When using job scheduling in a Cloud Environment: SSH is not a suitable method for interaction between containers. Cloud architectures are based on services offered by containers. SSH is a way to break into your neighbor's door instead of asking a service. SSH is not a cloud compatible approach.
• Security-wise SSH is a risk as it implements Code Injection on a remote system. SSH offers to impersonate any preconfigured account and to execute arbitrary code. The problem of with impersonation is that there are no limits to what an account can execute on a remote system. SSH cannot be controlled in a reasonable way to limit what an account can execute 's capabilities - and otherwise ends in a nightmare such as sudo configurations that introduce more insecurity the more complex they become.
• When High Availability is required: SSH does not include clustering capabilities as it works for a single machine only. JS7 offers the JS7 - Agent Cluster for redundancy and scalability of job execution with remote systems.
