I recently ran across this wonderfully concise intro to mesos [1]. mesos.0.2.ebuild was posted to BGO-510912. I'm still looking for a home for these "hacked" ebuilds, related to a clustering theme, if anyone has any suggestions. Perhaps a gentoo wiki page pointing to the various locations of (mesos) compatible ebuild?
Cisco is now pushing mesos with ansible (very cool project) [2]. Cisco is promoting an opensource approach to microservices using ansible. Zookeeper, spark, mesos, consul and many other codes that are part of the clustering codes, can be found in portage, various overlays and BGO. /usr/portage/sys-cluster/ is a quick list of what is in the tree. Folks can drop me some email if there is some software that they are interested in for gentoo based clusters. There is a growing interest among many folks that use gentoo, so maybe we can reconstitute the gentoo cluster herd or collect up around some repo location, or just "club it up" in an overlay repo somewhere? There are other truly exciting codes, like apache-storm, that hold great promise for what gentoo based clusters and linux based cloud services (or microservices) will be able to offer. It is exciting to see gentoo positioned very well as one of the best platforms (minus java) for innovation as we witness a myriad of devices all beginning to share video and services, in an almost seamless fashion. Clusters will be the engine that drives this convergence, imho. Marketing type refer to this as the "Internet of things". I'm also looking for suggestions on a new "Android phone" or a linux based phone (T mobile or Sprint), where you have the ability to updated the Android OS, without extraordinary measures. One that could be rooted or running SeLinux, would be keen. Some example apps that are open source for studying, as I'm quite new to the app. developemnt cycle, and prefer to use gentoo for this sort of development work. Many large corporations are taking a keen interest in Apache (mesos + spark). Cisco just strikes me as both odd and validation of apache-mesos. hth, James [1] http://opensource.com/business/14/9/ open-source-datacenter-computing-apache-mesos [2] https://github.com/CiscoCloud/microservices-infrastructure/ blob/0.2.0/CHANGELOG.rst
