Mesosphere is a set of applications that, together, form a cluster management solution for scalable deployments. The Mesosphere components can be installed on most modern Linux distributions, making this system a flexible and powerful option. In this series, we’ll introduce you to the basic Mesosphere concepts and components, and show you how to get started using Mesosphere on your own servers.

Mesosphere is a software solution that expands upon the cluster management capabilities of Apache Mesos with additional components to provide a new and novel way to manage server infrastructures. In this tutorial, we will briefly explain what each key component of Mesosphere does, starting with Apache Mesos, and show how each is used in the context of Mesosphere.

In this guide, we will go over how to configure a highly available cluster in Mesosphere. This configuration will set us up with failover in case any of our master nodes go down as well as a pool of slave servers to handle the tasks that are scheduled.
