Mastering Mesos

By: Dipa Dubhashi, Akhil Das

Overview of this book

Apache Mesos is open source cluster management software that provides efficient resource isolations and resource sharing distributed applications or frameworks. This book will take you on a journey to enhance your knowledge from amateur to master level, showing you how to improve the efficiency, management, and development of Mesos clusters. The architecture is quite complex and this book will explore the difficulties and complexities of working with Mesos. We begin by introducing Mesos, explaining its architecture and functionality. Next, we provide a comprehensive overview of Mesos features and advanced topics such as high availability, fault tolerance, scaling, and efficiency. Furthermore, you will learn to set up multi-node Mesos clusters on private and public clouds. We will also introduce several Mesos-based scheduling and management frameworks or applications to enable the easy deployment, discovery, load balancing, and failure handling of long-running services. Next, you will find out how a Mesos cluster can be easily set up and monitored using the standard deployment and configuration management tools. This advanced guide will show you how to deploy important big data processing frameworks such as Hadoop, Spark, and Storm on Mesos and big data storage frameworks such as Cassandra, Elasticsearch, and Kafka.

Setting up a multi-node Mesos cluster on Google Compute Engine (GCE)


Google Compute Engine (GCE) is Google's Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering, which allows users to run their computational workloads on virtual servers that are part of the same infrastructure that powers services, such as Gmail, YouTube, and Google's search engine.

Introduction to instance types

Machine types determine the virtualized hardware resources that are available to your instances, such as the amount of memory, virtual CPU, and the persistent disk limits an instance will have. A single virtual CPU maps to a single hardware hyper-thread on the host CPU that is running your instance.

Machine types are divided into different classes, and they are managed by the Google Compute Engine. Each machine type has its own pricing and is billed separately. For pricing information, review the price sheet.

Available machine types include the following:

  • Standard machine types

  • High-CPU machine types

  • High-memory machine types...
