ApacheCon EU 2014

Distributed systems are challenging, but essential whenever running applications on more than a single server. For operators, they pose issues when dealing with machine failures and deploying to multiple machines. For application developers, it often means having to rewrite fault-tolerant features into multiple apps.

This presentation will introduce Apache Mesos and Apache Aurora, two projects that work together to simplify running and deploying distributed systems across large pools of machines by providing a substrate for distributed systems. I'll cover their essential architectures and how they enable fault-tolerance with replicated master nodes, scalability to 10,000's of machines, and resource isolation between tasks. Attendees will come away with an understanding of how these separate software abstractions (resource manager & service scheduler) work individually and together.
