I think it's awesome that Shane Jarvie put the Mesos Framework code for the article on GitHub: https://github.com/sjarvie/mesos_example for development purposes.

I'm really impressed with William Thurston's work on the Amazon EC2 Container Service (Amazon ECS) scheduler driver. It will be cool to see a benchmark of ECS vs. Apache Mesos with the same taskDefinition defined.

Shouldn't that be on Apache Mesos NOT Mesosphere?

Awesome, Mesos-DNS is simple and stateless. Unlike Consul and SkyDNS, it does not require consensus mechanisms, persistent storage, or a replicated log. This is possible because Mesos-DNS does not implement heartbeats, health monitoring, or lifetime management for applications. This functionality is already available by the Mesos master, slaves, and frameworks.

Pretends to be a common standard for different solutions?

I use MongooseIM and it is a base platform for building high performance messaging systems leveraging XMPP. It is designed to provide communication for millions of concurrent online users in high growth sectors such as Social Media, Gaming and Telecommunications. It is highly customisable due to its clean and modular design allowing easy integration with pre-existing solutions within a company. MongooseIM is truly innovative for building high volume scalable instant messaging solutions, having features specifically designed for enterprise and business.

It's a port of eJabberd and brings it up to ErlangOTP standards.

When it comes to a cluster of machines the job of scheduling applications becomes an exercise for the operations team. Today for many organizations scheduling is handled by the fine folks running that team. Yet, unfortunately the use of a human scheduler requires humans to keep track of where applications are running. Sometimes this means using complicated error-prone spreadsheets or a configuration management tool with Puppet. Either way these tools don’t really offer the robust scheduling that is necessary to react to these real time events. This is where Kubernetes fits in.

If you think of the datacenter in this way then Kubernetes would be it’s datacenter operating system.

Can you use Thruk?

This month’s news provides yet another occasion for a friendly public-service reminder to anyone who uses a digital device to say anything to anyone, ever. Don’t do it. Don’t email, don’t text, don’t update, don’t send photos.

Such a cool post on Madhukar's Blog.

Service discovery needs to be as available and resilient as possible.

The out-of-space / metadata balancing problem has bitten me more times than I care to count. It's essentially a fact of life that I have to blow away /var/lib/docker and all its subvolumes every few weeks on any given machine, to clear an out-of-space problem.

Okay cool thanks for sharing I'll check it out.

You mention that, "finally, both the hypervisors and the guests run finely-tuned, bare-metal OSes, with only what’s needed, and nothing more." I'm curious what bare-metal OS do you use?

Wow this really is only the beginning of you offering better, faster and more reliable builds on Travis CI. You seem to have a lot more things planned to improve stability, I'm totally excited that you shipped this today.

Mesosphere stole the enterprise spotlight last week with the reveal of a commercial offering that strings together various components from the open-source ecosystem into a distributed data center operating system.

So early progress may be slow. Changing infrastructure paradigms takes time. We have to be patient. The number of customers who really need a DCOS today is more limited than it will be in five years. But this is where cloud computing is going.

Given that Firefox now uses Yahoo as its default search engine, this move doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Yahoo clearly wants as many people as possible to use Firefox — and with it its search engine (which is powered by Microsoft Bing).

I'm really looking forward to what's coming next in the 2015 roadmap for both Mesos and Kubernetes. In particular, I'm excited about the resource model implementation, which will provide a richer context for scheduling pods.

But this is our official announcement of the DCOS project. The other post was about Ben's ideas that helped drive the creation.

As many people in Portland, Ore., left work to return home on Friday evening, Uber, the ride-hailing start-up, began offering rides in that city for the first time, despite loud protests from local officials who have deemed the service illegal.

Presto is an open source distributed SQL query engine for running interactive analytic queries against data sources of all sizes ranging from gigabytes to petabytes.

Presto was designed and written from the ground up for interactive analytics and approaches the speed of commercial data warehouses while scaling to the size of organizations like Facebook.

Finally, Docker Swarm has a pluggable architecture and ships “batteries included” with a default scheduler. To this end, we’re excited to announce a partnership with Mesosphere to make it a “first class citizen” in Docker Swam for landing Docker container workloads. Stay tuned for the public API in the first half of 2015 which will allow swapping-in a scheduler implemented by an ecosystem partner or even your own custom implementation.

Given that VMS futures, POSIX support, RMS features and programming, server and application scaling, and VM sprawl have all been discussed recently, this is really something else to ponder.

Mesos 0.20.0 adds the support for launching tasks that contains Docker images, with also a subset of Docker options supported while we plan on adding more in the future.

Users can either launch a Docker image as a Task, or as an Executor. The Docker Containerizer is translating Task/Executor Launch and Destroy calls to Docker CLI commands.

The Programming API layer is fragmented in the UNIX world. There's mostly only ANSI C, X, and gcc, which exist everywhere, but it's still not trivial to port between *NIX. The kernel API is the most useless fragmentation of them all. It's addressed by POSIX and UDI (http://www.project-udi.org/), but the differences between the most important UNIX kernels don't justify the problems they make.

Docker aids software deployment through the automation of Linux Containers (LXC). While Docker has made the the life of developers and operators easier, Docker plus Mesosphere provides an easy way to automate and scale deployment of containers in a production environment.

Mesos doesn’t run one big distributed app across servers in a cluster, but rather interleaves the workloads on nodes in the cluster to maximize the utilization of compute, memory, and I/O resources on the cluster. Mesos can run on bare metal clusters or on machines that have some level of virtualization on them to provide some isolation between workloads running on the same machine. Google did a lot of the original work to create control groups, or cgroups, a lightweight application container for Linux, which is the basis for all LXC containers.
