MesosCon NA 2016

Mesos is never the only OSS you need to run your production datacenter. And just like all of us hanging out together at MesosCon, if you surround Mesos with its OSS friends, you get a happy, highly productive Mesos. But you have to be careful, not all OSS plays well with others.

In this talk, we’ll start by looking at a handful of production Mesos datacenters from major users. We’ll use these real-world examples to abstract a standard Mesos datacenter architecture that contains all of the components needed to run today’s modern, containerized apps with big data and analytics frameworks.

With that harmonized Mesos datacenter architecture, we’ll look at each of the abstract components and discuss the leading OSS projects that fit each piece. We’ll discuss the characteristics of what makes some solutions work well with Mesos, and call out the projects that don’t meet the standard.

We’ll wrap up the talk by showing the complete architecture diagram, and show the single- command trick for bringing all of the best OSS components together and getting them up and running in a production cluster.
