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.

Docker


Docker is an open-source platform that automates the process by which any application is deployed in the form of a container that is portable, lightweight, self-sufficient, and which can run virtually anywhere. Primarily based on the LXC or Linux Container, Docker is used by developers and system administrators while working with distributed applications. Rather than being an underlying technology, this platform acts as a comprehensive abstraction layer that enables developers to package or containerize an application, including its dependencies, and run it on any infrastructure. Simply put, Docker containers function like shipping containers which offer a standard and reliable way of shipping literally any application.

Docker provides the Development and IT Operations teams with much needed agility and control to 'build, ship, and run any app, anywhere.'

  • Build: Docker gives you the flexibility to create an application from micro-services, and not worry about probable inconsistencies...
