Apache Mesos Essentials

By: Dharmesh Kakadia

Overview of this book

<p>Apache Mesos is a cluster manager that provides efficient resource isolation and sharing across distributed applications, or frameworks. It allows developers to concurrently run the likes of Hadoop, Spark, Storm, and other applications on a dynamically shared pool of nodes. With Mesos, you have the power to manage a wide range of resources in a multi-tenant environment.</p> <p>Starting with the basics, this book will give you an insight into all the features that Mesos has to offer. You will first learn how to set up Mesos in various environments from data centers to the cloud. You will then learn how to implement self-managed Platform as a Service environment with Mesos using various service schedulers, such as Chronos, Aurora, and Marathon. You will then delve into the depths of Mesos fundamentals and learn how to build distributed applications using Mesos primitives.</p> <p>Finally, you will round things off by covering the operational aspects of Mesos including logging, monitoring, high availability, and recovery.</p>

Packaging


Modern application code does not operate in isolation and depends on other applications and libraries. Thus, the deployment has to make sure that these dependencies are met while deploying. Jar (Java Archive), Python eggs, and static binaries are all forms of packaging. There is an on-going effort to port Google's Kubernetes project (http://kubernetes.io) to Mesos (https://github.com/mesosphere/kubernetes-mesos). Kubernetes also allow running services at scale. Recently, Docker (https://www.docker.com) has emerged as a preferred mechanism for packaging applications in a portable manner. We will see Docker Mesos integration in Chapter 6, Understanding Mesos Internals.
