Weston Bassler will discuss the concept of a data center operating system and introduce Apache Mesos. A data center operating system treats all the machines in a data center as a single machine by abstracting resources into a single pool and allowing for better utilization of resources and ease of deploying and scaling applications. Apache Mesos is an open source project that implements this concept through a master-slave architecture and frameworks that manage tasks and services. Bassler will provide demonstrations of launching an application with Marathon, scaling an application on Marathon, and configuring Jenkins to run jobs on Mesos. He will also discuss ways to get started using Mesos through documentation, books, his GitHub repository, or by contacting him directly.
