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.

Introduction to PaaSTA


The Yelp's Platform-as-a-service distributed system PaaSTA is highly available and used to build, deploy, and run services using containers such as Docker and Apache Mesos. PaaSTA is designed and developed by Yelp and has been recently open sourced. You can take a look at the open sourced repository at the following URL: https://github.com/yelp/paasta

This is a suite for developers to specify how they want their code from their Git repository to be built, deployed, routed, and monitored. Yelp has used PaaSTA for more than a year to power its production-level services. PaaSTA is best suited if you have a strict production environment, such as Yelp, which requires many tiny microservices and where rolling out a new piece of code should be seamless and not disturb production systems. PaaSTA helps automate this entire process.

It comprises the following existing open source components:

  • Docker: This is used to containerize the code

  • Apache Mesos: This is used for execution...
