But this is our official announcement of the DCOS project. The other post was about Ben's ideas that helped drive the creation.

I don't think there was any confusion but thanks for making sure it stays that way.

#5The DCOS project looks amazing. The command line interface looks like a heroku toolbelt for your very own servers. Cool server usage visualizations too.

#6Mesosphere should really evangelize libprocess [0] more. Probably one of the cooler C++ libraries out there.

#7Congrats to the team! Ben was one of the most brilliant students in my undergrad class and it's awesome to see him employ his talents in such a big way.
I worked on healthcare.gov last year and it's hard to overstate the potential impact of a tool like DCOS. At one point, we had 2000+ VMs, most manually configured, with no monitoring, and completely different configs between dev, test, and prod (not intentionally). Straightforward operations like migrating half of the database servers from one VLAN to the other took months, small mistakes like changing a database password could result in hours-long outages, and simply getting the data that Mesosphere displays automatically would sometimes take weeks and other times simply be impossible.
Of course, clean devops hygiene would have eliminated much of the pain in the first place, but not every organization has the expertise to do things right. In fact, most don't, and the solution for most organizations is good tooling that automates as much of the system as possible and provides good development discipline for the rest.

#9I'm a recent mesos convert but I think "first" is a tad inaccurate if you consider Joyent's SmartOS and it's recently open sourced Smart Data Center.

#10So, the commoditization of on-demand and highly scalable virtual computing infrastructures, together with the rising popularity of "containerization" for app and service composition, seems to be creating an "orchestration crisis", or an "orchestration business opportunity," depending on your vantage point.
Are we about to see the emergence of what might be termed "new wave mainframe" computing?
