Ask HN: Mesos vs. OpenStack
This is a question of who will win the private cloud war? mesos+docker or openstack? love to hear more thoughts.
- SEJeff 12y agoThis is kind of the wrong question. You can trivially run openstack ontop of mesos and vice versa. Mesos is bigger on services, openstack is bigger on virtual machines. They are different solutions for overlapping, but fundamentally different problems. Here is an example of Ebay running mesos ontop of openstack: http://www.ebaytechblog.com/2014/04/04/delivering-ebays-ci-solution-with-apache-mesos-part-i/#.U9qEHnVdWEJ http://www.ebaytechblog.com/2014/04/04/delivering-ebays-ci-s...
- nogox 12y agoWhy not mesos+docker running on all HWs, which eliminates the point of running openstack at all. Google has been doing this for yrs.
- dennybritz 12y agoGoogle has been running docker for years? I kind of doubt that ;)
- zaargy 12y agoI think you're absolutely right. The only reason to use Openstack I can see is if you have to support random OVA's (from vendors) or Windows otherwise it adds needless complexity.
