During the week of March 23, @TwitterOSS hosted a bespoke Aurora and Mesos meetup and, then, the following week, they hosted a larger (and hopefully recurring) #Conf event. Both events had some great Mesos content—and we have those videos for you. Also big in the news: Mesos 0.18.0 (RC6) is now an official release. More on that, and links to download below.
Here are the full community highlights from the past few weeks:
- Mesos 0.18.0 is now available for download. There is even a package designed to run natively on your Mac Laptop if you're using OS X 10.9 Mavericks
- At the Aurora and Mesos meetup, hosted at Twitter HQ, Mesos co-creator Benjamin Hindman (@benh) did a deep dive on Building Distributed Systems on Mesos
- Also at the Aurora and Mesos meetup, Bill Farner (@wfarner) gave an introductory talk on Apache Aurora, which is the tool Twitter built to launch and manage applications with Mesos.
- Christina Delimitrou (@chris_deli) from Stanford presented her Quasar machine-learning scheduling algorithm at Twitter's Open Source #Conf. The whole talk is interesting, but the impatient among us can to skip right to the finish line and watch the demo.
- Hubspot's Tom Petr (@tpetr) also presented at Twitter's Open Source #Conf. He talked about developer velocity on Mesos and showed how Hubspot's 90 engineers are able to do hundreds of deploys each day, with the help of Mesos and a three-person devops team.
- Looking for Mesos API docs? Tobi Knaup (@superguenter) hooked up Javadoc to auto-generate API docs on the Apache Mesos web site.
- eBay is just the latest Fortune 500 company to publicly share the work they've been doing with Mesos. Check out how eBay is using Jenkins + Mesos for continuous delivery.
- Good news for Haskell programmers, Ian Duncan has started to build Mesos bindings for Haskell
- The devops community in Southeast Asia welcomed Mesos as a key theme at the DevOps Summit Singapore - 2014
- The countdown to Docker and Mesos deep integration (Deimos) continues to accelerate. Read the background on external containerization in MESOS-816 and follow the progress as Jason Dusek (@solidsnack) drives it across the finish line.
- Mesos supporter, Paco Nathan (@pacoid), talks about the market's rapid adoption of Mesos in this interview in KDnuggets You might also check out Paco's Exelixi project, an open source Mesos framework for running distributed genetic algorithms at scale.
Upcoming events:
