Hello,
@Stephen::I guess Stephen is bringing up the 'security' aspect of who
get's access to the information, particularly cluster/cloud devops,
customers or interlopers....?
@Fan:: As a consultant, most of my customers either have or are
planning hybrid installations, where some codes run on a local cluster
or using 'the cloud' for dynamic load requirements. I would think your
proposed scheme needs to be very flexible, both in application to a
campus or Metropolitan Area Network, if not massively distributed around
the globe. What about different resouce types (racks of arm64, gpu
centric hardware, DSPs, FPGA etc etc. Hardware diversity bring many
benefits to the cluster/cloud capabilities.
This also begs the quesion of hardware management (boot/config/online)
of the various hardware, such as is built into coreOS. Are several
applications going to be supported? Standards track? Just Mesos DC/OS
centric?
TIMING DATA:: This is the main issue I see. Once you start 'vectoring
in resources' you need to add timing (latency) data to encourage robust
and diversified use of of this data. For HPC, this could be very
valuable for rDMA abusive algorithms where memory constrained workloads
not only need the knowledge of additional nearby memory resources, but
the approximated (based on previous data collected) latency and
bandwidth constraints to use those additional resources.
Great idea. I do like it very much.

James

Hi,
This looks potentially interesting. How does it work in a public cloud
deployment scenario? I assume you would just have to disable this
feature, or not enable it?
Cheers,

Hi, Mesos folks
I’ve been thinking about Mesos rack awareness support for a while,
it’s a common interest for lots of data center applications to provide
data locality,
fault tolerance and better task placement. Create MESOS-5545 to track
the story,
and here is the initial design doc [1] to support rack awareness in Mesos.
Looking forward to hear any comments from end user and other developers,
Thanks!
