Enabling the Mesos containerizer


In this recipe, you will learn how to enable the Mesos containerizer. The Mesos containerizer (a.k.a. the unified containerizer) is the default way of running containers on Mesos.

Starting Mesos version 1.0, container images in Docker and AppC formats are supported.

Getting ready

You need to have Mesos up and running. See the recipes of Chapter 1, Getting Started with Apache Mesos to get more information.

How to do it...

The Mesos containerizer is enabled by default. To make it explicit, run the following command:

echo 'mesos' > /etc/mesos-slave/containerizers
