The Apache Mesos architecture


Mesos is an open source platform for sharing the resources of commodity machines between different distributed applications (later we see they are called frameworks in the Mesos ecosystem), such as Spark, Cassandra, and Kafka among others. Mesos objective is to run as a centralized cluster manager that pools all the physical resources of each cluster member and makes them available as a single source of highly available resources for all the different applications.

Let's take a simple example, a startup has bought eight machines for its humble data center, each one has 8 CPUs and 64 GB of RAM, and previously had a four node cluster where each machine had 4 CPUs and 16 GB of RAM. With Apache Mesos, we can make a virtual cluster that emulates a single machine with (8*8 + 4*4) 80 CPUs and (8*64 + 4*16) 576 GB of RAM. So easily we can have at our fingertips the power of ancestral mainframes. On this cluster we can run multiple distributed applications. The sharing...
