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>

Summary


In this chapter, we covered Marathon and Aurora scheduler frameworks, allowing long-running services on the Mesos cluster. We also looked at Chronos enabling recurring jobs on Mesos. Note that there are other frameworks for deploying services on Mesos, which we could not cover here, most notably, the singularity framework (https://github.com/HubSpot/Singularity) developed by HubSpot. These frameworks bring Mesos' vision of treating the entire data center as a single computer one step closer.

This chapter also concludes our coverage of various frameworks on Mesos. We covered a wide variety of frameworks aimed at solving various business problems, but the list of frameworks covered is by no means an exhaustive list of Mesos frameworks. A complete list of frameworks is available at https://github.com/dharmeshkakadia/awesome-mesos. In the next chapter, we will delve deeper into the internal workings of Mesos.
