steve [8:29 PM] Demonstration of new features for managing persistent external storage for stateful applications Event MesosCon Europe Submission TypePresentation CategoryOperations Biography Steve Wong is an open source software developer on the EMC{code} team. Steve has over a decade of experience working on storage, cloud, and virtualized datacenter products at EMC and VMware. Steve has participated in talks and presentations at VMworld. Steve blogs at cantbewong.com. Abstract How do you deal with Mesos hosted applications that need to maintain state in persistent storage? Certain classes of applications, such as databases, require long term access to persistent storage. Techniques are available to run these types of workloads on Mesos now, but sometimes the methods involved are error prone, labor intensive or impose irritating operational constraints. Former limitations the often required frameworks to use disks in unmanaged locations. This talk will focus on current best practices for running a stateful application workload on Mesos. The talk will then utilize a developmental build to demonstrate new features that deliver operational benefits, through Mesos management of external storage. Audience Audience: Mesos users and prospective users. This talk will appeal to those already using applications or frameworks that now utilize unmanaged storage. New features are arriving that can eliminate current "pain points". Examples of these types of workloads include Cassandra, Storm, and Spark. The talk will also be useful to those considering deploying new types of stateful applications on Mesos. Experience Level Any Benefits to the Ecosystem Persistent storage management is popular area for feature requests. Work is underway - some of which has already been delivered in the 0.23.0 build. This work will continue in a phased approach that could extend into the next year. Exposing this work now help inform current users of unmanaged storage that they may benefit from new features. This can also bring in people who may have formerly rejected Mesos because of difficulties in deploying stateful applications. Since this work is still in progress, this presentation is likely to inspire discussion and feedback while there is still time to influence architectural direction. The availability of managed external persistent storage could bring whole new classes of applications to the Mesos Platform. MesosCon Europe 08/28/2015 - 20:23
