Different ways of running a service on DC/OS

Kinda newbie on DC/OS so bear with me on this rather trivial question.

I have set up a HA DC/OS cluster.

I want to deploy some container services.

What is the difference between running services

a) By selecting the Services option on the left pane that prompts you with the following options below

b) by installing Marathon from the catalogue and then running service on it

Solution

  • Well, a) will ultimately use the already present Marathon instance, and b) will install a Marathon-on-Marathon instance, which is unnecessary if you just want to run a few containers and/or services.
