There are a few efforts to support docker (and other) containers in Mesos under (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-816)

As part of this, a couple of new docker efforts were released today:

https://github.com/tarnfeld/mesos-docker-containerizer

https://github.com/mesosphere/medea

I'm pretty excited to see fleet. These types of distributed systems are a natural complement for containerized infrastructure.

You can run docker containers with marathon pretty easily plus other stuff: https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/908362/1405593/a19d12da-3d...

I'm liking marathon, it makes mesos much more accessible and is under pretty active development.

"User job requests kick off a bidding process by the machines in the cluster. Based on the received bids the engine assigns the job to a machine." yeah.. superficially that sounds very similar to mesos.

another system that can do cluster wide containerization and orchestration across clouds/baremetal is juju.

The end goal for all seems to be in utilization efficiency and ease of management at scale of a host of application topologies.

I'd like to see it support bare LXC containers. That could be very powerful IMO.
