Extending Mesos for Storage and External Resources

[clintkitson]

Mesos and Mesosphere are popular platforms for managing the consumption of data center resources and workloads. Recent enhancements to Mesos extend its management scope to go beyond resources supplied by individual cluster nodes. For example, Mesos can manage external storage from a platform such as ScaleIO. Stop by and learn about the data center of the future running Mesos.

Draft outline:
Extending Mesos for Storage and External Resources

-What is Mesos

• Cluster Manager + Scheduler
• Why do I care? What can it do for me?
• How do I run it? What is required?
• Re-describe in a way comparing it to vSphere
• How stable is this thing?
  • If I put this into production, will I gets calls late at night, or get fired?
• What is storage like with Mesos?
  • Past
  • Present
  • Future
• Describe how former limitations resulted in attitudes and deployment models that are now outmoded
• Describe ScaleIO
  • Highly scalable
  • Highly Available
  • Storage bandwidth grows concurrently with capacity
  • Storage IOPs grows with capacity
  • Performance scales linearly
  • Uses a fraction of a typical server node’s CPU and memory
    • Turns out this is a match made in heaven for a scheduler like Mesos
• Describe how you can architect a cluster that runs Mesos and ScaleIO concurrently
• Describe the types of applications that are suitable for running on such a cluster
  • Pretty much anything – save perhaps certain NoSqls and distributed filesystems that can’t be prevented from implement an additional needless level of redundancy
• Describe the logical and physical architecture of a Mesos cluster overlayed on a ScaleIo cluster
• Demo

@cantbewong My thought here was to include in this discussion our thinking around extending the "offer" logic to external resources. I would weigh the talk less on SIO.
