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.

Chef is both the name of a company and the name of a configuration management tool written in Ruby and Erlang. It uses a pure Ruby domain-specific language (DSL) to write system configuration "recipes". This module will explain how to install and configure the Apache Mesos master and slave using the Chef cookbook. Chef is a configuration management tool to automate large-scale server and software application deployments. We will assume that the reader is already familiar with Chef. The following repository will be used for reference:

The Chef cookbook version at the time of writing this book supports the Ubuntu and CentOS operating systems. The CentOS version is experimental and is not recommended for use in a production environment. Ubuntu 14.04 or higher is required to make use of the cgroups isolator or Docker container features. Only Mesos 0.20.0 and later supports Docker containerization...
