I am setting up a multi container application on mesos cluster on Azure using azure container service and currently stuck in linking containers.
My setup brief info: - Mesos cluster is deployed on Azure using Azure container service - It's a 3 container application - A, B and C - B is dependent on A and C is dependent on A & B- - A is deployed currently
How can I link the above containers?
Thanks, Suraj
If by linking you mean Docker's --link then thats deprecated practice and inter-container communication should be done using Docker networks and port mappings.
For DC/OS - you have some different ways to achieve this (also called Service Discovery). I have written a blog post explaining these different tools by examples: http://blog.itaysk.com/2017/04/28/dcos-service-discovery-and-load-balancing-by-example
If you don't want to read through that long post and looking for a recommendation: Try using VIPs.
When creating the application (either from Marathon or DC/OS UI), look for the 'VIP' setting. Enter an IP there (it can be a made up IP) and port. Your service will be discoverable under this IP:Port.
