Lab - Mesos / Marathon¶

The purpose of this lab is to give you more visibility on

• Overview of Mesos and Marathon and their key components
• Install Mesos and Marathon with 3 masters and 2 agents
• How to launch application from Marathon
• How to install Mesos-DNS for service discovery
• How to setup and install F5 solutions for Mesos / Marathon environment

The F5 Marathon Container Integration consists of the F5 Marathon BIG-IP Controller, the F5 Application Service Proxy (ASP), and the F5 Marathon ASP Controller.

The F5 Marathon BIG-IP Controller configures a BIG-IP to expose applications in a Mesos cluster as BIG-IP virtual servers, serving North-South traffic.

The F5 Application Service Proxy provides load balancing and telemetry for containerized applications, serving East-West traffic. The F5 Marathon ASP Controller deploys ASP instances ‘on-demand’ for Marathon Applications.

The official F5 documentation is available here: F5 Marathon Container Integration

You can either setup the whole F5 solutions yourself or use some scripts to automatically deploy everything

We also provide some ansible playbooks if you need to setup a Mesos/Marathon env.
