ActorTemplate's container should not use name "pause" #1495
Description
Because ateom creates a container named "pause" for every actor. We should add validation for that.

It doesn't sound right to carve out names from the set of valid IDs (i.e. k8s-short-names). It's not just arbitrary to say all k8s-short-names are allowed, except "pause", it's also impossible to evolve as any other restriction will be backward incompatible.
Can we change the implementation of atelet / ateom so that we don't need to use that ID? (e.g. call the container "_pause" within the OCI spec).

I agree with this. Will update PR if Benjamin Elder (@BenTheElder) 's ok with it too.

I agree. I left a comment like this on the PR.
Name the gvisor root container as "_pause" so no actor container can …

Haven Xia (@HavenXia) looking at the code, I don't think this was fixed? Atelet seems to still have a validation that makes Run/Restore request fail if a container is named
pause. I found this while reviewing #1997 which adds DV validations to this API.shrutiyam-glitch FYI

Thanks for notifying and seems #1997 has dropped the refusal in atelet side, I will leave this open so shrutiyam-glitch you can close this with #1997.

#1997 fixed this
