Mesos: An SDK for Distributed Systems Developers - Connor Doyle and Adam Bordelon, Mesosphere
In this tutorial, the experts from Mesosphere will explain the core concepts behind writing frameworks for Apache Mesos, including a detailed description of the low-level tools at your disposal as a framework author. Attendees are encouraged to follow along on their own computers as we demonstrate how to write elastic services using several popular programming languages (without a single line of networking code). Participants will leave with the skills to build the future of distributed systems!

Agenda:
  • Introduction to Apache Mesos
  • When to write a Framework
  • Environment Setup
  • Hands-On Implementation
  • Q & A
Apache Mesos is a cluster manager that provides efficient resource isolation and sharing across distributed applications. It can run Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, MPI, Hypertable, Storm, Chronos, Marathon, and other applications on a dynamically shared pool of nodes. The biggest user of Mesos is Twitter, where it runs on tens of thousands of cores. Airbnb runs all of their data infrastructure on it, processing petabytes of data.

Run Any App on Mesos on Any Infrastructure Using Docker - Victor Vieux, Docker
Mesos is an cluster Operating System, you can run your application on an entire datacenter if you need, but you still have the dependencies management to handle; and it can sometimes be a pain. By combining Docker and Mesos, you can deploy any application through your cluster using Docker containers. Victor Vieux will briefly introduce of Docker, then dive into Mesos and Docker integration and at the end Victor Vieux will do a quick demo.

You will get something from that talk if you already know how to setup / run a Mesos cluster. You’ll learn why using Docker inside Mesos is useful and how to setup the Docker integration to automate the deployment of any application as a lightweight, portable, self-sufficient container that will run virtually anywhere.

This presentation will help sysadmins manage their Mesos cluster more efficiently by speeding up the deployment process through their entire cluster.

Highly-Distributed DevOps - How an Elastic Cluster can solve your DevOps Challenges - Tobi Knaup, Mesosphere
Traditional DevOps tools are often not up for the job of running large scale infrastructure in a highly dynamic environment. How do you handle hockey-stick growth? How do you let dozens of engineers deploy dozens of apps, dozens of times per day? What do you do when something goes wrong? In this talk, Tobi Knaup will answer these questions and demonstrate tools that can help ops teams deliver on the promises of Mesos.

This talk is targeted at operations teams and IT organizations that are running (or looking to run) large, elastic clusters using Apache Mesos.

This talk will help more operations people become aware of how highly elastic clusters can solve the challenges of operating at scale, and the new tools that can help them do their jobs.

Spark on Mesos: Handling Big Data in a Distributed, Multi-Tenant Environment - Paco Nathan
This presentation will include an introduction to Apache Spark, a general purpose engine for handling a range of batch, interactive, and streaming applications with large-scale data. Spark is built for mixed workloads, so we'll review how it operates and how to think about building Spark apps — particularly how those aspects fit well with Mesos. We will also show how to build and run Apache Spark on Apache Mesos. A demo based on using the free-tier service atop AWS https://elastic.mesosphere.io/ from Mesosphere will cover build, config, packaging, deployment, and then run sample apps using the Scala REPL for Spark. Based on these Spark jobs running, we will explore the Mesos and Spark consoles together, drilling down into details about system performance and troubleshooting.

This is intended primarily for a developer audience, but not with a lot of expertise required. Some familiarity with running Linux shell commands is needed. The expectation is that audience members will learn how to run Spark atop Mesos, along with some basic introduction to building Spark apps in general.

Many people using Spark in the field have heard more about YARN, but do not realize that Spark on Mesos is much simpler to get started running. Also, there are performance benefits, and a closer match for the mixed workloads intention of Mesos. We will show how the two blend together well atop Linux for a full-stack solution.

Run Applications Like a Boss: Fault-Tolerant and at Scale with Marathon and Mesos - Connor Doyle, Mesosphere
Gone are the days where you could build an app that only needs to run on a few servers. Now every app needs to be like Google: highly-distributed, fast, scalable and fault-tolerant. Devops everywhere have been wasting time building their own custom scale-out architectures for web apps. Marathon is a framework built on Apache Mesos that simplifies and automates operations, and provides a simple self-serve interface for developers to launch their apps on a shared cluster in a scalable and fault-tolerant way.

This talk is for application developers, IT organizations, and Ops teams who are looking to deploy and run Linux apps on large clusters. We will discuss ways to deliver a fault-tolerant and elastic scale-out architecture for any long-lived application like Ruby on Rails/node.js-based web applications or traditional J2EE servers like Tomcat.

This presentation will help organizations and developers understand how to build and deploy Linux apps at large scale, in highly-distributed systems.

Best of both worlds: Running YARN alongside Mesos - Mohit Soni, eBay & Renan DelValle, eBay
Almost anyone considering using Mesos in their datacenter, will come across a very interesting challenge, which is of running Mesos alongside YARN. Mesos and YARN are both resource managers, each with a unique architecture, protocol and ecosystem around them. Today, running these two alongside statically partitions the datacenter, something that both managers are designed to avoid, when they are the only resource manager in control.During this talk, we will present a novel solution that will allow Mesos and YARN to co-exist and share resources, without partitioning the datacenter.

Running Mesos at Atlassian - Ryan Thomas, Atlassian
Atlassian has been using Mesos to build an internal service deliver platform, along with Aurora and Docker. Our journey initially started with looking at the options we have, settling on Mesos and picking up Marathon and the mesos-docker-executor. Subsequent iterations led us to Aurora, and using Docker directly. This project is still in the development phase and we've managed to hit a lot of snags due to most of our components being on the bleeding edge.
