Running Mesos workloads on bare metal

Talk: Mesos by the pound
Speaker: Casey Bisson (https://twitter.com/misterbisson)

Abstract:

Mesos has proven to be a powerful framework for orchestrating Containerized applications in data centers with fixed pools of resources. In the cloud, however, pre-provisioning VMs to run Mesos workloads slows our ability to scale applications up and down with changing demand. Worse, VMs impose a performance penalty on application performance and risk becoming pets if not managed properly.

True container-native infrastructure solves this problem by eliminating VMs and running Mesos workloads securely on bare metal across an entire cloud, rather than on a defined “cluster.” Eliminating the VM increases performance and speeds scaling, but how does this work, and how can applications best take advantage of it? In this session, Joyent’s Casey Bisson will demonstrate Mesos running in a public cloud on bare metal and scaling containerized workloads across multiple data centers — and prove why container-native is the future of the data center.

Casey Bisson has done time as a systems engineer, software engineer, writer, librarian, open source founder, information architect, and director of engineering for Gigaom prior to joining Joyent as the product manager leading development of Triton for container-optimized on-premises and hybrid clouds. He may be color blind, but he compensates with a wardrobe of clashing patterns.
