A session in the DevNet Zone at Cisco Live, Berlin. Developers are driving the market for cloud consumption and leading each industry into the new era of software defined disruption. There are no longer questions about whether elastic and flexible agile development are the way to innovate and reduce time to market for businesses. In addition, businesses are moving to application development architectures leveraging microservices, which are becoming increasingly important to their business strategy. When making the decision to build and operate an application on a physical or cloud platform, microservices are becoming central to architecture and strategy. This session will clearly define what a microservices infrastructure is and how it enables elastic, flexible, and portable application workload deployment. The Mantl platform will be introduced, with each component described and demonstrated. Project Shipped will be used to build, deploy and run an application.

Mesos
What is it?
Program against your
datacenter like it’s a single
pool of resources
Apache Mesos abstracts CPU, memory, storage,
and other compute resources away from machines
(physical or virtual), enabling fault-tolerant and
elastic distributed systems to easily be built and
run effectively.

Mesos
2-Tier Scheduler
Frameworks:
• Receive resources offered by the
master nodes
• Schedule work on offered
resources
• Are notified if workloads fail via
internal and external mechanisms
6
Mesos:
• Determines resources available
on nodes in the cluster
• Offers those resources to
frameworks
• Keep track of node status (online,
offline, remaining resources)

7. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicPresentation ID
Mesos
Architecture
Slaves (Agents in 1.0):
• Tell the masters which resources
are available
• Run tasks on claimed resources
7
Masters:
• Communicate with Schedulers
• Keep track of Agents
• Provide a UI for Ops / DevOps

8. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicPresentation ID
Mesos
Architecture
Executor:
• A binary or script that runs on the
slave to perform work
• Runs in an isolated environment
(can use Docker)
8
Framework (Scheduler):
• Schedules work based on offers
received
• Domain specific

Marathon
What is it?
1
0
A cluster-wide init and
control system for services
in cgroups and Docker
containers
Marathon is an Apache Mesos framework for long-
running applications. Given that you have Mesos
running as the kernel for your datacenter, Marathon
is the init or upstart daemon.

Marathon
Overview

• Developed by Mesosphere
• Controls app resources, ports,
environment variables, and
scaling
• Runs “long-running” tasks

Cassandra
What is it?
Distributed database
designed for scalability and
high availability
Apache Cassandra is an open source distributed
database management system designed to handle
large amounts of data across many commodity
servers, providing high availability with no single
point of failure.

Cassandra
Overview
1
3
• Designed to handle big data workloads across multiple nodes (ring) with no
single point of failure
• Data is distributed among all nodes in the cluster
• Uses the Gossip protocol for peer-to-peer communication
• Eventually consistent (C): prioritizes Availability and Partitioning tolerance
(AP)

Cassandra
Mesos Framework
1
4
• Automates bootstrapping and operations of Cassandra
clusters
• Bootstraps initial seed nodes and expands cluster to
desired number of nodes
• Runs periodic operational tasks
• Restart, remove, and replace nodes on failure
• Self-contained: does not require specialized software
installed on agent nodes

Spark
What is it?
A fast and general engine for
large-scale data processing
Apache Spark is an open source, high performance
big data processing framework. It provides high-level
APIs in Java, Scala, Python, and R. Spark includes
higher-level libraries, including support for SQL
queries, streaming data, machine learning and graph
processing.

6
• Originally developed at UC Berkeley in 2009
• Up to 100x faster than Hadoop for large scale data processing
• Execution engine works both in-memory and on-disk
• Architecture
• Data storage: supports Hadoop-compatible data sources like HDFS,
HBase, Cassandra, etc.
• API: Scala, Java, Python, and R.
• Resource Management: standalone, Mesos, Yarn

1
7
• Runs as a framework
• Supports the Docker containerizer
• 2-level scheduling: Spark can make decisions about the
offers it receives from Mesos
• Enables sophisticated scheduling scenarios

Spark
Run Modes
1
8
• Coarse-grained
• Runs long-running Spark executors on every node
• Fast startup, better for interactive sessions, but can
be inefficient
• Fine Grained
• Launches a Spark executor per task
• Slower startup but can utilize resources better

Docker
What is it?
A shipping container
system for applications
A container virtualization platform that abstracts
underlying Linux resource isolation technologies like
cgroups and kernel namespaces. Allows developers
to build, package, and ship applications that can run
anywhere*.
*anywhere that runs a 3.10+ Linux kernel

Docker
Overview
2
0
• Compared to virtual machines, containers are smaller, lighter weight, more
portable, and easier to deploy
• Package an application, along with all of its dependencies, in a single
artifact
• Use the same artifact throughout development, testing, and production
• Reduces concerns about the compatibility in different environments
