The promise of Mesos to create a datacenter-centric resource pool is a great idea. However, a decade old company with many different types of existing systems and unique workloads can't simply mass migrate to Mesos. That doesn't mean Mesos can't pay a huge part in unifying disparate workloads that construct existing systems while opening the door to new Mesos-centric development.
In this presentation, Steve will cover 3 very different use cases that are being unified under Apache Mesos including: Automated builds of existing code artifacts, automated builds of AWS AMIs via packer in EC2, and rolling deploys & supervision of Docker microservices across environments. The addition of Docker on Mesos has enabled this, but that doesn't mean that all Mesos slaves should be identical. See how the addition of localized support services on slaves can compliment your Docker on Mesos use cases.
