Mesos is built using the same principles as the Linux kernel, only
at a different level of abstraction. The Mesos
kernel runs on
every machine and provides applications (e.g., Hadoop, Spark, Kafka,
Elasticsearch) with API’s for
resource management and scheduling
across entire datacenter and cloud environments.
Industry proven to easily scale to 10,000s of nodes.
Fault-tolerant replicated master and agents using Zookeeper. Non-disruptive upgrades.
Native support for launching containers with Docker and AppC images.
First class isolation support for CPU, memory, disk, ports, GPU, and modules for custom resource isolation.
Support for running cloud native and legacy applications in the same cluster with pluggable scheduling policies.
HTTP APIs for developing new distributed applications, for operating the cluster, and for monitoring.
Built-in Web UI for viewing cluster state and navigating container sandboxes.
Runs on Linux, OSX and Windows. Cloud provider agnostic.
