Mesosphere collaborates with Kubernetes and Google Cloud Platform
Monday, August 18, 2014
Today’s guest post is by Florian Leibert, Mesosphere Co-Founder & CEO. Prior to Mesosphere, he was an engineering lead at Twitter where he helped introduced Mesos to Twitter where it now runs every new service. He then went on to help build the analytics stack at Airbnb on Mesos. He is the main author of Chronos, an Apache Mesos framework for managing and scheduling ETL systems.
Mesosphere enables users to manage their datacenter or cloud as if it were one large machine. It does this by creating a single, highly-elastic pool of resources from which all applications can draw, creating sophisticated clusters out of raw compute nodes (whether physical machines or virtual machines). These Mesosphere clusters are highly available and support scheduling of diverse workloads on the same cluster, such as those from
Marathon
,
Chronos
,
Hadoop
, and
Spark
. Mesosphere is based on the open source Apache Mesos distributed systems kernel used by customers like Twitter, Airbnb, and Hubspot to power internet scale applications. Mesosphere makes it possible to develop and deploy applications faster with less friction, operate them at massive scale with lower overhead, and enjoy higher levels of resiliency and resource efficiency with no code changes.
We’re collaborating with Google to bring together Mesosphere, Kubernetes and Google Cloud Platform to make it even easier for our customers to run applications and containers at scale. Today, we are excited to announce that we’re bringing Mesosphere to the Google Cloud Platform with a web app that enables customers to deploy Mesosphere clusters in minutes. In addition, we are also incorporating Kubernetes into Mesos to manage the deployment of Docker workloads. Together, we provide customers with a commercial-grade, highly-available and production-ready compute fabric.
With our
new web app
, developers can literally spin up a Mesosphere cluster on Cloud Platform in just a few clicks, using either standard or custom configurations. The app automatically installs and configures everything you need to run a Mesosphere cluster, including the Mesos kernel, Zookeeper and Marathon, as well as OpenVPN so you can log into your cluster. Also, we’re excited that this functionality will soon be incorporated into the Google Cloud Platform dashboard via the click-to-deploy feature. There is no cost for using this service beyond the charges for running the configured instances on your Google Cloud Platform account. To get started with our web app, simply login with your Google credentials and spin up a Mesos cluster.
We are also incorporating
Kubernetes into Mesos
and our Mesosphere ecosystem to manage the deployment of Docker workloads. Our combined compute fabric can run anywhere, whether on Google Cloud Platform, your own datacenter, or another cloud provider. You can schedule Docker containers side by side on the same Mesosphere cluster as other Linux workloads such as data analytics tasks like Spark and Hadoop and more traditional tasks like shell scripts and jar files.
Whether you are running massive, internet scale workloads like many of our customers, or you are just getting started, we think the combination of Mesos, Kubernetes, and Google Cloud Platform will help you build your apps faster, deploy them more efficiently, and run them with less overhead. We look forward to working with Google to make Cloud Platform the best place to run traditional Mesosphere workloads, such as
Marathon
,
Chronos
,
Hadoop
, or
Spark
—or newer
Kubernetes
workloads. And they can all be run together while sharing resources on the same cluster using Mesos. Please take
Mesosphere for Google Cloud Platform
for a test drive and let us know what you think.
