Using zookeeper for service discovery of mesos slaves running docker

I am trying to link 2 docker containers using mesos/marathon framework. As I understand there is no way to use the docker link feature in mesos/martahon. So the way to go forward is to use service discovery. Since zookeeper is already used my question is how to use zookeeper for service discovery so that 1 container can talk to another one.

Solution

  • For service discovery on Mesos/Marathon, you can use a proxy server (see https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/docs/service-discovery-load-balancing.html) or a DNS server that derives settings from Mesos automatically (see https://github.com/mesosphere/mesos-dns).
