ApacheCon NA 2015

Operations in datacenters today suffer huge inefficiencies because services are placed in static partitions and they require a lot of manual intervention to operate at scale, at high efficiency, and at high-availability. Most of these challenges stem from a host-centric view of the world, where operators have to work at the level individual servers. This is a “broken” part of the datacenter that is the target of many of Apache’s most interesting projects. In this talk, Christos Kozyrakis, Director of Research at Mesosphere, will explain the emergent “treating your datacenter like a single computer” model, and highlight specific Apache Projects (Apache Mesos, Apache Zookeeper and Apache Spark) that are making this possible.
