First Apache Mesos Meetup in Hamburg

Welcome to the first ever Meetup of the Hamburg Mesos User Group!

For this special occasion, we have invited special guests from San Francisco to give us a great kick start:

• Benjamin Hindman, co-creator of Apache Mesos and co-founder of Mesosphere

• Adam Bordelon, Michael Park, Joris Van Remoortere from the Apache Mesos Core Team at Mesosphere

They will report on exciting new features in Apache Mesos and give us some insight into the roadmap ahead.

Adam Bordelon will present Myriad, a Mesos (meta-) framework for scaling YARN clusters.

Jörg Schad from our local team at Mesosphere in Hamburg (!), will give a pre-release demonstration of the Mesosphere Datacenter Operating System (DCOS), which is built around Apache Mesos.

All of the above is open source, of course!

"Mesos + YARN = Myriad: A Game Changer for Big Data Developers"

Conventionally, datacenters are statically partitioned into siloed clusters for each application. But there is an increasing need to integrate Big Data analysis frameworks such as Apache Hadoop with other datacenter services, ideally co-locating the data in HDFS/HBase with the services that need it. The Apache incubator project Myriad integrates Apache YARN into Apache Mesos, allowing Apache Hadoop jobs to run alongside many other applications with different distribution structures, all dynamically sharing a single pool of resources. Besides great simplification of deployment and operations, this arrangement improves overall cluster utilization and operational efficiency.

Speaker: Adam Bordelon is a distributed systems architect at Mesosphere and an Apache Mesos committer. Before joining Mesosphere, Adam was lead developer on the Hadoop core team at MapR Technologies. He developed distributed systems for personalized recommendations at Amazon, and he re-architected the LabVIEW compiler at National Instruments. He completed his Master’s degree at Rice University, building a tool to analyze supercomputer performance data for bottlenecks and anomalies.

"DCOS Demo"

The Mesosphere Datacenter Operating System (DCOS) is a new kind of operating system that spans all of the servers in a physical or cloud-based datacenter, and runs on top of any Linux distribution. DCOS is built around Apache Mesos as the kernel, Marathon as the init daemon, Chronos as the Cron replacement, HDFS as filesystem, and Mesos-DNS for Service-Discovery. It also contains a graphical user-interface and command-line interface for controlling your cluster. Services such as Spark, Kubernetes, Kafka,or HDFS are easily installable by a single command. We will give a brief overview of the system and then give a short live demo.

Speaker: Jörg Schad is a software engineer at Mesosphere in Hamburg.
