Downtime is not an option - How Apache Mesos - DC/OS keeps apps running

Title:

Downtime is not an option - How Apache Mesos and DC/OS keeps apps running despite failures and updates

Description:

Many talks and tutorials show how to deploy an application onto a cluster system, but don’t talk about the “morning after”, which is about keeping and maintaining that application in production.

There are a number of challenges involved, including:

• System failures

• System upgrades

• Application failures

• Zero-downtime application updates

• Varying workloads.

This talk will detail how DC/OS, the Datacenter Operating System which is built around Apache Mesos, ensures that your application stays up and running despite those challenges.

We will discuss the following topics: How DC/OS keeps itself running despite unreliable infrastructureHow we can update DC/OSHow DC/OS keeps applications up and runningHow we can update applications with new versions and configurationsDuring this discussion, we’ll look at the technical architecture of DC/OS and Apache Mesos, and talk about best practices for development and operations.
