I plan to make a proposal for a proof of concept(POC) project employing mesos/sphere targeting the OS IBM AIX. At least for the mesos/sphere slaves.

Short remark: with the term mesos/sphere i subsume both projects, mesos and mesossphere, to be the "framework" projects of that POC.

I have read about the isolation feature and that it uses cgroups and hence a LXC environment. Referencing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXC, IBM AIX does use an alternative approach and does NOT implement cgroups.

So i can not expect that all features of mesos/sphere will work on IBM AIX. But on the other side i can not pre-evalute from docs and research under which if-s which features might work or are to be configured respectively.

So, targeting IBM AIX as the OS prospectively running mesos/sphere, is/can mesos/sphere ...

  • designed to work ?
  • be expected respective to which features not to work ?
  • be pin pointed to configuration documentation/help that is not expected to work ?
  • expected to be supported by the community?
  • under anyone's productive usage?

thanks for trying mesos under AIX! There is no official support for AIX,so unfortunately also no documentation what might be potential problems.

Did you try building mesos (make && make check) on AIX? That should give a good indicator for potential problems.

To your LXC questions: Mesos supports a number of different ways to isolate processes: See for example mesos-containerizer,docker containerizer or external containerizer. So even without cgroups Mesos will still work, it will just not be able to isolate tasks with cgroups. For example I can at least test Mesos fine on my Mac Book (which does not offer cgroups).

Hope this helped, Joerg
