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.

Mesos Image Provisioner


An Image is an ordered collection of root filesystem changes and the corresponding execution parameters for use within a container runtime.

Most of the container specifications, such as Docker, App Container (AppC), or Open Container Project (OCP), combine implementation and specification of the image format with other container components such as resource isolation and task execution to a large extent. The Mesos Image Provisioner seeks to enhance the capabilities of Mesos Containerizer by providing support for container filesystem provisioning from multiple image formats, while also providing features such as resource isolation by combining with other components such as Isolators.

Mesos containers created using the Mesos Containerizer are provided with a root filesystem already provisioned with Docker or AppC images using the Mesos Image Provisioner.

The container filesystem image is described by a new message Image, which is given in the following code:
