The architecture of Mesos
Mesos is an open-source platform for sharing clusters of commodity servers between different distributed applications (or frameworks), such as Hadoop, Spark, and Kafka among others. The idea is to act as a centralized cluster manager by pooling together all the physical resources of the cluster and making it available as a single reservoir of highly available resources for all the different frameworks to utilize. For example, if an organization has one 10-node cluster (16 CPUs and 64 GB RAM) and another 5-node cluster (4 CPUs and 16 GB RAM), then Mesos can be leveraged to pool them into one virtual cluster of 720 GB RAM and 180 CPUs, where multiple distributed applications can be run. Sharing resources in this fashion ...
