Hot on the heels of my recent posts, and that from Andrew Nelson, the VMware Big Data Extensions team has released an official fling that extends the functionality to include Mesos, Marathon, Chronos, Docker and Kubernetes!
From the site:
“Big Data Extensions can be easily extended to deploy and manage all kinds of distributed or non-distributed applications. This release of the BDE-SE Fling adds support for deploying Mesos (with Chronos and Marathon) as well as Kubernetes clusters in addition to the Hadoop and HBase clusters.
Big Data Extensions simplifies the cluster deployment and provisioning process, gives you a real time view of the running services and the status of their virtual hosts, provides a central place from which to manage and monitor your clusters, and incorporates a broad range of tools to help you optimize cluster performance and utilization.
Big Data Extensions provides the following features:
-
Fast deployment, management, and scaling of Hadoop, Mesos and Kubernetes clusters. Big Data Extensions enable rapid deployment of Hadoop, Mesos and Kubernetes clusters on VMware vSphere. You can also quickly manage, scale out clusters, and scale up/down nodes subsequently.
-
Support for Docker. The Big Data Extensions for vSphere Standard Edition Fling includes support for Docker with Mesos, Marathon, Chronos, and Kubernetes.
-
Graphical User Interface Simplifies Management Tasks. The Big Data Extensions plug-in for vSphere, a graphical user interface integrated with vSphere Web Client, lets you easily perform common infrastructure and cluster management administrative tasks.
-
All-in-one solution. Big Data Extensions ships with installation package and configuration scripts for Apache Bigtop 0.8.0, Kubernetes 0.5.4, Mesos 0.21.0, Chronos 2.3.0 and Marathon 0.7.5. You can create and manage Hadoop, Mesos, and Kubernetes clusters out of box. You can also add new versions of these softwares into Big Data Extensions Server and create the cluster.”
Head over to the Flings page at VMware and download the latest to see how it all works! Great job by the BDE engineering team!
