Apache Mesos Kernel
- is a distributed systems kernel that was created by Ph.D. students at UC Berkeley in 2009
- it abstracts CPU, storage, and other compute resources away from machines (physical or virtual), enabling fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems to easily be built and run effectively
- the Mesos kernel runs on each machine in distributed environments, and both containerized and non-containerized workloads can use the Mesos API for resource management and scheduling
Used As
- cluster manager for the Hadoop ecosystem
- Container Orchestrator Engine (COE) for containers
