nqnielsen··on Why the data center needs an operating system
Mesos itself is only considered as the kernel of a operating system for the datacenter (should also be the message of the article) - not the entirety of what _will_ be. It is Mesos in conjunction with distributed storage, app schedulers, interactive and batch systems for data processing that will make the OS. Just like Mac OS X isn't the Mach kernel alone, but a wide palette of applications that makes the entire OS experience.

So true; think about what multi-tasking and virtual memory have done for developer convenience _and_ system performance over the last decades. Bet we are going to see the same effects in this space too - there are so many interesting things to do in scheduling! Especially when you can distinguish between clever placement of long lived tasks vs fitting short-lived low-latency jobs.

On another note; next up: "data center_s_ need an operating system". Very interested to see the move towards multi DC/availability zones.
