Mesos Cookbook

Build Status

Application cookbook for installing the Apache Mesos cluster manager. Mesos provides efficient resource isolation and sharing across distributed applications, or frameworks. This cookbook installs Mesos via packages provided by Mesosphere.

This cookbook serves as the base for the following additional Mesos framework cookbooks maintained by Medidata Solutions:

  • marathon - This cookbook installs the Apache Mesos Marathon framework.
  • chronos - This cookbook installs the Apache Mesos Chronos framework.

Requirements

  • Chef >= 11
  • Ruby 1.9.3 or higher

Platform

Tested on

  • Ubuntu 14.04
  • Ubuntu 13.10
  • Ubuntu 12.04
  • Debian Wheezy
  • CentOS 6

Supported Mesos Versions

This cookbook supports the following Apache Mesos versions:

  • 0.21.1
  • 0.21.0
  • 0.20.1
  • 0.20.0
  • 0.19.1

We intend to support at most the three latest versions of Apache Mesos including all patch releases for supported major versions. Ex. 0.20.0 + 0.20.1 etc..

Attributes

In order to keep the README managable and in sync with the attributes, this cookbook documents attributes inline. The usage instructions and default values for attributes can be found in the individual attribute files.

Configuring Mesos via attributes

This cookbook introduces a few points of validation to prevent passing Mesos invalid configuration options. The file attributes/mesos_options.rb contains a hash of all valid Mesos configuration options for all Mesos versions supported by this cookbook. This cookbook will fail to converge if you try to use an invalid configuration option as a command line flag attribute under [‘mesos’][‘master’][‘flags] or [‘mesos’][‘slave’][‘flags] hashes.

The valid list of Mesos options are available in the Mesos documentation for the latest options here: http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/configuration/ as well as in this Google Sheets document which keeps track of what configuration options are available per Mesos version here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IER03xhtOSj9unW5AYIqn-tu-laAHlPSOYhM6xw4QHg/edit#gid=0

Recipes

default

The default mesos recipe will run mesos::install.

install

The install recipe installs the specified version of the mesosphere mesos RPM or Debian package and installs it. It also configures to stop both mesos-master and mesos-slave init files so that they don't automatically start on server restart.

master

The master recipe runs mesos::install as well as creating several mesos-master configuration files that are used at startup. This recipe also uses the zookeeper attributes and/or exhibitor attributes to configure the mesos-master using zookeeper. Lastly it sets the mesos-master init config to 'start' so that mesos-master is started on server restart.

slave

The slave recipe runs mesos::install as well as creating several mesos-slave configuration files that are used at startup. This recipe also uses the zookeeper attributes and/or exhibitor attributes to configure the mesos-slave using zookeeper. Lastly it sets the mesos-slave init config to 'start' so that mesos-slave is started on server restart.

docker

This recipe is no longer needed for Mesos versions 0.20.0 and higher since those versions introduced native docker support. Once this cookbook drops support for Mesos 0.19.x this recipe will be removed.

The docker recipe installs docker via Brian Flad's docker cookbook as well as Jason Dusek's mesos-docker script as a mesos executor. After running this recipe on a mesos slave you should be able to run the mesos-docker examples listed in Jason Dusek's docker on mesos blog post.

Usage

Here is a sample role for configuring a Mesos master in a ZooKeeper backed production mode.

chef_type:           role
default_attributes:
description:
env_run_lists:
json_class:          Chef::Role
name:                mesos_master
override_attributes:
  mesos:
    version: 0.21.1
    cluster_name: mesos-sandbox
    zookeeper_server_list: [ '203.0.113.2', '203.0.113.3', '203.0.113.4' ]
    zookeeper_port: 2181
    zookeeper_path: 'mesos-sandbox'
run_list:
  recipe[mesos::master]

Here is a sample role for creating a Mesos slave node with a seperate ZooKeeper ensemble dynamically discovered via Netflix Exhibitor:

chef_type:           role
default_attributes:
description:
env_run_lists:
json_class:          Chef::Role
name:                mesos_slave
override_attributes:
  mesos:
    version: 0.21.1
    cluster_name: mesos-sandbox
    zookeeper_path: 'mesos'
    zookeeper_exhibitor_discovery: true
    zookeeper_exhibitor_url: 'http://zk-exhibitor-endpoint.example.com:8080'
run_list:
  recipe[mesos::slave]
