Description: Analytics must be a base feature of your datacenter or cloud strategy, with the ability to expand elastically based on your business needs. Achieving truly elastic analytics for your business is now easier than ever with Chronos, Spark, and Storm on Apache Mesos and the Mesosphere Datacenter Operating System (DCOS). In this talk, Brenden Matthews will discuss how he provided elastic analytics at Airbnb and how the Mesosphere DCOS can easily bring the same type of infrastructure to your own environments. Brenden will host a live demo, showing how to run analytics with Chronos, Spark, and Storm on Mesos, using Docker and HDFS on the Mesosphere DCOS. He will show how the DCOS can greatly simplify elastic operations, including cluster provisioning, resizing, and service management.
