kubernetes-mesos

Absolutely! We're actively working on this here at Mesosphere, in partnership with Google. You can check out the project at https://github.com/mesosphere/kubernetes-mesos You might also be interested in a talk I gave at the Kubernetes launch in August about our work coming the two: https://youtu.be/aXcdHwQ5GgQ

One small correction: Mesos is a scheduler. It doesn't natively ship with any end-user framework to access the scheduling though (you are supposed to write your own framework which uses the Mesos API). Marathon is a generic end-user framework for accessing those functions and runs on top of Mesos. I think it's also interesting to note that Mesos can be used as the Kubernetes minion scheduler backend. And for very large collections of compute nodes, this is reputedly a good choice (though I don't have any personal experience to back that assessment up). https://github.com/mesosphere/kubernetes-mesos

Kubernetes (k8s) makes for an amazing developer story. Mesos is much more bare metal, but the scheduler scales a loooot better than the still relatively immature k8s scheduling component. One of the original authors of mesos wrote a paper on scheduling: https://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~alig/papers/drf.pdf. Mesos is one of the first "two level" schedulers. I very highly recommend that you also read this article for an idea of how this is a good idea: http://www.umbrant.com/blog/2015/mesos_omega_borg_survey.htm... The k8s upstream was forward thinking enough to make the scheduler parts of it pluggable, which allow the (imo) holy grail of something like this https://github.com/mesosphere/kubernetes-mesos. This gives you the nice logical "pod" description for services, running on the battle tested mesos scheduler. There are many 10k+ node bare me

Kubernetes is not really a container orchestration platform. It helps organize containers into logical groups with dependencies, but orchestrating resources on your physical machines is well within Mesos' domain. Keep in mind that Kubernetes and Mesos aren't mutually exclusive. Kubernetes has been [implemented](https://github.com/mesosphere/kubernetes-mesos) on Mesos. My opinion is that Kubernetes is closer in identity to Docker: tons of OSS excitement, many companies jumping on board, and really pluggable. As to whether its going to become the critical infrastructure piece that gets enterprise to pay $$$... that's a stretch.
