MesosCon NA 2016

Today, Apache Mesos enables operators and developers of modern distributed systems to treat machines like abstract resources in number of cores and gigabytes of memory. However, with abstractions comes simplifications and assumptions. Modern servers exhibit very different performance behavior based on the workload configuration and the its use of shared resources like last-level cpu caches, memory, network and I/O bandwidth. This becomes an unavoidable aspect when operators are tasked with running latency critical systems while maintaining high utilization **and** not violating service level objectives. In this talk, we will address how to maintain ease of use for operators and developers through Apache Mesos abstractions **and** make the best use of the hardware platform in operating system and hardware controls and monitoring to ensure quality of service of business critical jobs.
