Roadmap for Apache Mesos on Windows


I see that there is now an effort to make Mesos available on Windows (servers at least).

https://mesosphere.com/blog/2015/08/20/mesos-everywhere-apache-mesos-for-windows-server/

Does anyone know of updates/roadmap on this effort? I tried looking in https://github.com/apache/mesos/search?q=&type=Issues but don't see any issues for Windows support.


Solution

  • Mesos uses JIRA to track issues, that's why nothing shows up in GitHub. The Windows port is now very actively being worked on. There are two JIRA epics that track the effort:

    Introduce CMake as an alternative build system.

    Mesos on Windows

    The plan is to first port the Mesos Agent. Once it's done, it will become possible to have a cluster with Master(s) running on Linux and Agents running on either Linux or Windows (or both).

    The current implementation of CMake-based build system is pretty functional. It allows to rope in all the dependencies for building the Agent as well as produces the Agent binary. The work on porting Mesos build system tooling (post-reviews script, bootstrap script, etc.) is currently under way.
