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.

Deploying containerized apps using Docker and Mesos


This section gives a brief overview of deploying a Docker containerized Node.js application on Mesos using Marathon. This requires you to have Docker and fig already installed on the machine. Let's follow the steps listed next to carry out the deployment:

  1. Since we are deploying a simple Node.js application, we can start off by creating a simple App.js to print Hello World, a simple hello world Node.js program.

    var http = require('http'); 
    // Configure our HTTP server to respond with Hello World to all requests.
    var server = http.createServer(function (request, response) {
      response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
      response.end("Hello World	");
    }); 
    // Listen on port 8000, IP defaults to "0.0.0.0"
    server.listen(8000); 
    // Put a friendly message on the terminal
    console.log("Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/");
  2. Next we create the package.json file with the following contents:

    {
      "name": "hello-world",
      "description"...
