Pros

Effortless Cluster Setup: Several users have praised the platform for its ability to easily spin up clusters using industry-standard tools within minutes. This has allowed them to have a centralized dashboard and logging capability for all their managed k8s clusters without any configuration, saving them valuable time and effort.

Seamless Integration with Existing Workflows: Reviewers appreciate that once installed, they can communicate with their clusters the same way they are used to, using kubectl. This seamless integration with existing workflows is a standout feature for many users, allowing for a smooth transition and minimizing disruption.

Efficient Resource Management: Many users find the support for several frameworks for scheduling different kinds of workloads and the 2-level scheduling system highly efficient in managing resources. They feel that this results in great efficiency and helps streamline their workload management processes.

Mesosphere: Docker Orchestration made Easy!

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Mesosphere for orchestrating Docker Container workloads. The main feature that mesosphere provides is cloud agnostic capabilities and it can be used across multiple cloud providers or within a hybrid scenario where you have a fusion between your own data centers and the cloud. Mesosphere as a product is being used by my team for managing and provisioning Docker Container workloads.

Pros

  • Cloud Agnostic
  • Simple to Use
  • Simplistic UI
  • Easy to Operate and Scale

Cons

  • Setting up is a bit of a hassle, especially ZooKeeper state management and mesos and marathon quorum.
  • Occasionally, I observed some failures when deploying something onto Marathon. Logging or detailed error reporting can help.
  • Stale containers and inconsistent states resultant of the cluster failure are hard to solve and need a complete system restart to get it back to normal state.

Likelihood to Recommend

Mesosphere is well suited for orchestrating workloads. It supports Docker as a container as well as support others. It is highly suitable for running resilient and auto recovering big data/application containers. Mesosphere has proven time and again to be production ready at a massive scale. It supports native single button/API call scale up and scale down and supports various deployment patterns like Blue-Green and others.
