Description

Currently, the agent does not expose any information about the ContainerID -> TaskID mapping. This makes it very hard for the WebUI/other tools to access construct the path to the task sandbox. As a workaround, one possible approach can be to create a symlink from tasks/TaskID -> containers/ContainerID. The WebUI can then construct the path to the task sandbox by following the symbolic link. Eventually, we would like to expose this information on the agent itself.
