Minimesos - The experimentation and testing tool for Apache Mesos

Speaker: Frank Scholten

Abstract

Learn how to start an instant Apache Mesos cluster on your laptop with minimesos. Mesos allows developers to program against a cluster of machines as if it were a single pool of resources.

Mesos is used by many large internet companies like Twitter and Airbnb. However, Mesos can be complex so it is not easy to try out. Luckily, with minimesos you can instantly run a small Mesos cluster on your laptop. Minimesos was developed during our work when developing Mesos frameworks for Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana so that we could quickly test new functionality on our development machines.

In this talk I will introduce you to Mesos and minimesos, and show you a demonstration of minimesos.
