This video will show you the steps involved in deploying Apache Mesos on VMware’s Photon Controller product using the “cluster” mechanism available in Photon Controller. It uses Photon Controller CLI to create a tenant, resource ticket and a project. It then shows how to create an appropriate image for VMs to run Mesos, how to enable the Photon Controller deployment for Mesos clusters, and finally the creation of the cluster. After the deployment has succeeded, you are shown some command outputs and Photon Controller UI views of the running cluster. I decided to pick Mesos in this case, as I have already written a lot on Docker Swarm and Kubernetes, and have shown how to deploy these both natively, and using the Photon Controller “canned” cluster mechanism.
*** Note that at the time of writing, stand-alone Photon Controller is still not GA ***
*** Steps highlighted in this video may change in the GA version of the product ***
The video is just over 13 minutes in length. If you want to read up on the actual steps, or you wish to learn about how to use Marathon for a simple container demo, this blog post I created previously might be useful.
