Mastering Mesos

Mesos containerizer

This is the default containerizer type provided by Mesos. In this type, tasks can be run through an array of pluggable isolators provided by Mesos. It can be enabled by configuring the agent flag as

--containerizers=mesos

This type is typically used when:

• User needs to control the task environment through Mesos without having to rely on other container solutions.
• Fine-grained OS controls are desired.
• Custom resource isolation needs to be added for tasks.
• User needs to control certain resource parameters (for example, disk usage limits) which are not exposed by other container solutions.

Any task which doesn't specify ContainerInfo::DockerInfo will be handled by the Mesos containerizer.
