See [OnDemand 2.x Roadmap: Scalability Goals](https://discourse.openondemand.org/t/ondemand-2-x-roadmap-scalability-goals/294). The first goal under “Extendability” is “Interactive work without a batch scheduler”. One of the adapters is “SSH/Fork” which is actually two different adapters: 1. Fork and 2. SSH+Fork. The first of course is running interactive apps on the OnDemand host.
