#MesosCon 2015

As a distributed systems kernel, Mesos solves complex scheduling problems. These problems include: Bin Packing of tasks given resource constraints; Dominant Resource Allocation to prioritize Framework offers; user-defined optimistic or pessimistic Scheduler algorithms. When job allocation stops working properly, we see Framework starvation, dead locks, underutilization and other issues. In this talk, Alex Gaudio will present a unique interpretation of task scheduling on Mesos. By drawing on his experiences building Mesos Frameworks and infrastructure for Sailthru's Data Science team, he will provide attendees with ways to fundamentally question how they use Mesos, and offer practical advice to improve sub-optimal usage patterns.
