DC/OS (Distributed Cloud Operating System) is an open-source distributed operating system constructed on the Apache Mesos project. Apache Mesos was developed following the same principles as the Linux kernel, albeit at a distinct level of abstraction. The Mesos kernel operates on every machine, providing applications such as Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, and Elasticsearch with APIs for resource management and scheduling across full data centre and cloud environments. Apache Mesos abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and other compute resources away from physical or virtual machines, enabling the easy construction and effective operation of fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems.

DC/OS unites Mesos and over 30 applications into a single coherent system, much like how a Linux distribution packages the Linux kernel with applications to create a functional operating system.

This course offers participants a comprehensive overview of Apache Mesos and DC/OS, demonstrating through practical, hands-on exercises how to deploy and manage a complete Data Centre Operating System.
