Apache Mesos 1.2.0 Released
The latest Mesos release, 1.2.0, is now available for download. This release includes the following features and improvements:
MESOS-5931 - Experimental support for auto backend in Mesos Containerizer, prefering overlayfs then aufs. Please note that the bind backend needs to be specified explicitly through the agent flag
--image_provisioner_backendsince it requires the sandbox already existed.MESOS-6402 - Experimental support for rlimit in Mesos containerizer. The isolator adds support for setting POSIX resource limits (rlimits) for containers launched using the Mesos containerizer. POSIX rlimits can be used to control the resources a process can consume. See docs for details.
MESOS-6419 - Experimental: Teardown unregistered frameworks. The master now treats recovered frameworks very similarly to frameworks that are registered but currently disconnected. For example, recovered frameworks will be reported via the normal “frameworks” key when querying HTTP endpoints. This means there is no longer a concept of “orphan tasks”: if the master knows about a task, the task will be running under a framework. Similarly, “teardown” operations on recovered frameworks will now work correctly.
MESOS-6460 - Experimental: Container Attach and Exec. This feature adds new Agent APIs for attaching a remote client to the stdin, stdout, and stderr of a running Mesos task, as well as an API for launching new processes inside the same container as a running Mesos task and attaching to its stdin, stdout, and stderr. At a high level, these APIs mimic functionality similar to docker attach and docker exec. The primary motivation for such functionality is to enable users to debug their running Mesos tasks.
MESOS-6758 - Experimental support for ‘Basic’ auth docker private registry on Mesos Containerizer. Until now, the mesos containerizer always assumed Bearer auth, but we now also support basic auth for private registries. Please note that the AWS ECS uses Basic authorization but it does not work yet due to the redirect issue MESOS-5172.
More than 200 other bug fixes and improvements made it into this release. For full release notes with all features and bug fixes, please refer to the CHANGELOG.
