Now that we have a fully functional Mesos cluster with the Marathon framework, we are ready to spin off new tasks (or Docker containers) to Marathon. Before we do that, it is highly important that we understand the Mesos and Marathon web interface.

Getting ready

We already know that the Mesos web UI is located at port 5050. To access the web UI, open http://192.168.99.100:5050 in a web browser.
