How can Apache Mesos make a difference in your organization? With this practical guide, you’ll learn how this cluster manager directs your datacenter’s resources, and provides real time APIs for interacting with (and developing for) the entire cluster. You’ll learn how to use Mesos as a deployment system, like Ansible or Chef, and as an execution platform for building and hosting higher-level applications, like Hadoop.
Author David Greenberg shows you how Mesos manages your entire datacenter as a single logical entity, eliminating the need to assign fixed sets of machines to applications. You’ll quickly discover why Mesos is the ultimate DevOps tool.

Apache Mesos是先进的集群管理器，既可以作为灵活的部署系统，也可以作为强大的执行平台。它不仅为分布式应用程序提供了良好的资源隔离，而且突破性地实现了资源的灵活共享，极大地提高了资源的整体利用率。
《用Mesos框架构建分布式应用》深入浅出，首先介绍了Mesos的基础知识，随后重点介绍Mesos的两种开源框架（Marathon和Chronos）。以实际程序样例为线索，一步步讲解如何配置，如何交互，以及如何构建深度集成。接着详细介绍如何为Mesos构建自定义的框架，如何构建核心Mesos API。最后深入研究Mesos的一些高级特性，比如和Docker的集成、其内部架构，以及一些最先进的API，包括数据库的持久化磁盘管理和框架预约系统。
