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.

Chapter 5. Mesos Cluster Deployment

This chapter explains how a Mesos cluster can be easily set up and monitored using standard deployment and configuration management tools used by system administrators and DevOps engineers. We will explain the steps that are required to set up a Mesos cluster through Ansible, Puppet, SaltStack, Chef, Terraform, or Cloudformation, and how a test environment can be set up using Playa Mesos. We will also talk about some standard monitoring tools, such as Nagios and Satellite that are can be used to monitor the cluster. We will also discuss some of the common problems faced while deploying a Mesos cluster along with their corresponding resolutions.

The topics that will be covered are as follows:

  • Deploying and configuring a Mesos cluster using the following:

    • Ansible

    • Puppet

    • SaltStack

    • Chef

    • Terraform

    • Cloudformation

  • Creating test environments using Playa Mesos

  • Common deployment issues and solutions

  • Monitoring the Mesos cluster using the following:

    • Nagios

    • Satellite
