Mesosphere is a company, not a piece of software. I think you're referring to Mesosphere's dcos[1]. DCOS is some really nice packaging for marathon, chronos, etc, with a nice cli tool for downloading and installing new frameworks onto mesos. Personally, I find using Aurora a lot nicer. That being said, I do think the kubernetes-mesos gives you far and above the best of both worlds. You get the developer story of kubernetes, with the ops story of mesos. From an ops perspective, k8s is a bit clunky. I was actually shocked when I found out after bringing a new kubelet (worker node) online, you have to also update a service on the master. This was in a power training class on Kubernetes at this year's Redhat Summit in Boston. Really underwhelmed with the complexity of k8s compared to mesos, but they aren't an apples to apples comparison. [1] https://mesosphere.com/product/ https://mesosphere.com/product/
