vagrant-mesos

Spin up your Mesos Cluster with Vagrant! (Both Virtualbox and AWS are supported.)

This also spins up Marathon server node and installs mesos-docker executor to /var/lib/mesos/executors/docker of each mesos slave node. This means you can build your own private PaaS with vagrant up!!

• Using VirtualBox
  • Mesos Standalone on VirtualBox
  • Mesos Cluster on VirtualBox
• Using Amazon EC2
  • Mesos Standalone on EC2
  • Mesos Cluster on EC2 (VPC)

The mesos installation is powered by mesos chef cookbook. Please see everpeace/cookbook-mesos.

Prerequisites

• vagrant 1.2+: http://www.vagrantup.com/
• VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/ (not required if you use ec2.)
• vagrant plugins

  • vagrant-omnibus $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus

  • vagrant-berkshelf $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-berkshelf

    • if you use vagrant 1.5.2+, please install vagrant-berkshelf 2.0.1+ $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-berkshelf --plugin-version '>= 2.0.1'

  • vagrant-hosts $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hosts

  • vagrant-cachier $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier

  • vagrant-aws (only if you use ec2.) $ vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws

Mesos Standalone on VirtualBox

It's so simple!

$ cd standalone
$ vagrant up

After box is up, you can see

• mesos web UI on: http://192.168.33.10:5050
• marathon web UI on: http://192.168.33.10:8080

if everything went well.

Mesos Standalone on EC2

1. set ec2 credentials and some configurations defined in standalone/aws_config.yml. You have to fill up EDIT_HERE parts. Security group you'll set must accept at least tcp port 22(SSH) and 5050(mesos-master web ui) from outside of ec2.

    # Please set AWS credentials
    access_key_id:  EDIT_HERE
    secret_access_key: EDIT_HERE
   
    # please choose one from
    # ["ap-northeast-1", "ap-southeast-1", "eu-west-1", "sa-east-1", "us-east-1",
    #  "us-west-1", "ap-southeast-2", "us-west-2"]
    region: us-east-1
   
    # array of security groups. e.g. ['sg*** ']
    security_groups: EDIT_HERE
   
    # see http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/#selecting-instance-types
    # for other instance types and its specs.
    instance_type: m1.small
   
    keypair_name: EDIT_HERE
   
    ssh_private_key_path: EDIT_HERE
   

2. you can spin up mesos box on ec2 by the same way with the case of virtual box

    cd standalone
    vagrant up --provider=aws
   

   After box is up, you can see

   • mesos web UI on: http://#_public_dns_of_the_VM_#:5050
   • marathon web UI on: http://#_public_dns_of_the_VM_#:8080

   if everything went well.

   Tips: you can get public dns of the vm by:

   $ vagrant ssh -- 'echo http://`curl --silent http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname`:5050'
   http://ec2-54-193-24-154.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:5050
   

Mesos Cluster on VirtualBox

Cluster Configuration

Cluster configuration is defined at multinodes/cluster.yml. You can edit the file to congigure cluster settings.

# Mesos cluster configurations
mesos_version: 0.15.0

# The numbers of servers
##############################
zk_n: 1          # hostname will be zk1, zk2, …
master_n: 1      # hostname will be master1,master2,…
slave_n : 1      # hostname will be slave1,slave2,…

# Memory and Cpus setting(only for virtualbox)
##########################################
zk_mem     : 256
zk_cpus    : 1
master_mem : 256
master_cpus: 1
slave_mem  : 512
slave_cpus : 2

# private ip bases
# When ec2, this should be matched with
# private addresses defined by subnet_id below.
################################################
zk_ipbase    : "172.31.0."
master_ipbase: "172.31.1."
slave_ipbase : "172.31.2."

Launch Cluster

This takes several minutes(10 to 20 min.). It's time to go grabbing some coffee.

$ cd multinodes
$ ./vagrant up

At default setting, after all the boxes are up, you can see

• mesos web UI on: http://172.31.1.11:5050
• marathon web UI on: http://172.31.3.11:8080

if everything went well.

Destroy Cluster

this operations all VM instances forming the cluster.

$ cd multinodes
$ ./vagrant destroy

Mesos Cluster on EC2 (VPC)

Because we assign private IP addreses to VM instances, this Vagrantfile requires Amazon VPC (you'll have to set subnet_id and security grooups both of which associates to the same VPC instance).

Note: Using default VPC is highly recommended. If you used non-default vpc, you should make sure that limit of the elastic ips is no less than (zk_n + master_n + slave_n). The limit default is 5.

Cluster Configuration

You have to configure some additional stuffs in multinodes/cluster.yml which are related to EC2. Please note that

• subnet_id should be a VPC subnet
• security_groups should be ones associated to the VPC instance.
  • security_groups should allow accesses to ports 22(SSH), 2181(zookeeper) and 5050--(mesos).

(cont.)
# EC2 Configurations
# please choose one region from
# ["ap-northeast-1", "ap-southeast-1", "eu-west-1", "sa-east-1",
#  "us-east-1", "us-west-1", "ap-southeast-2", "us-west-2"]
# NOTE: if you used non-default vpc, you should make sure that
#       limit of the elastic ips is no less than (zk_n + master_n + slave_n).
#       In EC2, the limit default is 5.

slave_instance_type: m1.small

Launch Cluster

After editting configuration is done, you can just hit regular command.

$ cd multinode
$ vagrant up --provider=aws --no-parallel

NOTE: --no-parallel is highly recommended because vagrant-berkshelf plugin is prone to failure in parallel provisioning.

After instances are all up, you can see

• mesos web UI on: http://#_public_dns_of_the_master_N_#:5050
• marathon web UI on: http://#_public_dns_of_marathon_#:8080

if everything went well.

Tips: you can get public dns of the vms by:

$ vagrant ssh master1 -- 'echo http://`curl --silent http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname`:5050'
http://ec2-54-193-24-154.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:5050

If you wanted to make sure that the specific mastar(e.g. master1) could be an initial leader, you can cotrol the order of spinning up VMs like below.

$ cd multinode
# spin up an zookeeper ensemble
$ vagrant up --provider=aws /zk/

# spin up master1. master1 will be an initial leader
$ vagrant up --provider=aws master1

# spin up remained masters
$ vagrant up --provider=aws /master[2-9]/

# spin up slaves
$ vagrant up --provider=aws /slave/

# spin up marathon
$ vagrant up --provider=aws marathon

Stop your Cluster

$ cd multinodes
$ vagrant halt

Resume your Cluster

$ cd multinodes
$ vagrant reload --provision

Destroy your Cluster

this operations terminates all VMs instances forming the cluster.

$ cd multinodes
$ vagrant destroy
