Mesosphere’s data center operating system (DCOS) is used for building, deploying and running containers and distributed systems in production. The solution also includes:
- Marathon: a production-grade container orchestration system, which is a standard part of the DCOS.
- Velocity: The newly launched developer agility and CI/CD platform for the DCOS, which leverages open source tools like Jenkins to make it possible for development teams to go from source code to production with ease and speed.
- Infinity: a big data and real-time analytics platform, which harnesses open source services such as Spark, Cassandra and Kafka so enterprises can easily build world-class analytics into their businesses.
