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>

Extending Mesos


Extensibility is an important feature for any software, as it allows it to adapt to specific requirements. Mesos tries to keep its core to the minimum and pushes all the optional features out of core Mesos, that may not be required by all Mesos users. Mesos provides integration points, where various external implementation or systems can integrate with Mesos. Almost all the components in Mesos are swappable with different implementations for specific functionalities. We have already seen how we can plug our own isolators, containerizers and registrar implementation. In this section, we will see some more features that allow Mesos to be customized.

Mesos modules

Mesos provides modular architecture, but there will always be points where Mesos needs to adapt to a particular organization needs. Mesos modules provide ways to extend the inner working of Mesos to cater to such requirements, without the need of rewriting, recompiling, or relinking Mesos (http://mesos.apache.org/documentation...
