Mastering Mesos

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.

Networking for Mesos-managed containers


One of the major goals to provide networking-related support in Mesos was to develop a pluggable architecture leveraging which custom networking mechanisms could be implemented by users as per their requirements. Since networking requirements vary across different deployment scenarios (cloud, on-premise, private cloud, or other hybrid models), it is not practical to create a monolithic networking mechanism that caters to all needs. Mesos' pluggable architecture proves to be very useful in tackling this.

To provide networking support, many opt-in extensions were introduced in Mesos components from version 0.25.0 onwards. The opt-in structure allows existing frameworks without networking support to continue operating seamlessly on newer Mesos versions. Mesos enables integration with other networking mechanisms, and provides features like service discovery, IP per container, and isolation of tasks.

Networking support is provided through a Mesos module,...
