In this talk we discuss integrating Consul (consul.io) with Apache Mesos. Mesos allows us to mix diverse workloads across multiple systems and Consul provides service discovery, health checks and support for dynamic system configuration.

By making these tools work together, we can build a flexible and powerful platform that support a wide range of use cases -- from running Docker containers to data-centric applications like Kafka and Spark.

This talk will Cover:

• An overview of Hashicorp Consul and comparisons to tools like Zookeeper and etcd
• Introduction to service discovery
• Using Consul & Terraform to simplify Mesos deployments
• Feeding mesos task information into Consul
• Integrating Marathon state with Consul Key/Value
• Consul template example: dynamic Zookeeper cluster ensembles
