Marathon was just Mesosphere's (not even Mesos') way of running docker containers. It is very simple, and it gained more popularity than naive mesos' container solution - Aurora). At this point kubernetes' won in the container area, but that doesn't mean mesos is no longer useful. Running containers was just one of things it could do, its main purpose is to manage hardware. As for your original question, I don't see any other way mesos would run kubernetes than as a framework. That is the whole point, otherwise there would be no point of using mesos. BTW there already was kubernetes framework, but it seemd to be abandoned since k8s 1.3 or 1.2. I'm glad it was resurrected.

>At this point kubernetes' won in the container area This seems like an overstatement. From where I’m standing, it seems like there’s plenty of room for many solutions to thrive in this space. I use and like Kubernetes in local development at my org, and we’re probably going to be testing production workloads on Kubernetes soon. The learning curve is quite steep and almost entirely front-loaded. There will be a significant portion of companies for which a different solution is more desirable, based on that fact alone.
