Current most popular container orchestration tools do not offer a failover mechanism for stateful Applications. In this talk, we demonstrate container migration on an Apache Mesos cluster and a more enjoyable way to schedule your Containers. Process migration has been studied for a long time for fault-tolerance in long-running stateful application. Without it, the application developer has to modify the application to periodically save the state for later recovery in case of a failure. In this talk, we explore yet another frontier for process migration: scheduling of stateful Applications with Apache Mesos for resource oversubscription and cluster maintenance. Apache Mesos is a distributed systems kernel that provides a two-level scheduling architecture allowing high degrees of automation to large container-driven clusters.
