Apache Mesos is an open-source project to manage computer clusters. It was developed at the University of California, Berkeley. Apache Mesos allows businesses to maximize resource utilization and simplify datacenter administration. It’s ideal for running data-intensive applications, real-time processing, and container orchestration. Program against your datacenter like it’s a single pool of resources. Apache Mesos abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and other compute resources away from machines (physical or virtual), enabling fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems to easily be built and run effectively. Mesos is built using the same principles as the Linux kernel, only at a different level of abstraction. The Mesos kernel runs on every machine and provides applications (e.g., Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, Elasticsearch) with API’s for resource management and scheduling across entire datacenter and cloud environments.
