MesosCon NA 2016

Currently, despite the wide adoption of Mesos as the kernel for the data center, Mesos does not have a standardized interface to plug into different networks. Existing modules, such as the port mapping isolator or net-modules, are focused solutions that aim to make Mesos work on specific types of networks. In this talk Qian, Avinash and Jie will present the design and implementation of a new network isolator the network/cni isolator that implements the CNI (Container Network Interface) spec, proposed by CoreOS. The network/cni isolator will allow Mesos containers to work, potentially, on any type of IP network. CNI allows for a clean division of work, allowing Mesos to focus on network isolation and offloading network configuration to native binaries called CNI plugins. There are CNI plugins developed for different types of networks (e.g., bridge, flannel, calico, weave etc.) allowing Mesos to run containers on a multitude of different networks.
