MesosCon NA 2016

Mesos provides a flexible “two-level” scheduling approach to cluster management: Mesos is responsible for allocation of resources to application-specific framework schedulers, and framework schedulers decide how best to use the resources available to them. We’ll explore why an architectural separation between resource management and scheduling has contributed to the widespread adoption of Mesos in the open source community. Next, we’ll specifically focus on resource allocation in Mesos, looking to understand the model, the present state of affairs, and the future directions that will be taken.
