The ability to share infrastructure resources and frameworks among multiple users is extremely important for a data center kernel. In a large deployment, without proper support for multitenancy, separate static clusters have to be created for different users, organizations, or use cases, losing all the benefits Mesos provides as the common substrate for the data center. Mesos has first-class support for multitenancy, as we will see in this section.
Authentication is an important feature for large Mesos deployments. Mesos added support for framework authorization starting from 0.20.0 release (http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/authorization/). It uses Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) library to implement the authentication that supports various authentication mechanisms. This allows:
