The Bay Area Mesos User Group just announced a meet up in San Francisco that will feature a night of talks about Apache Aurora[1], a Mesos framework for long-running services and cron jobs. Book your calendars for Thursday, February 19th starting at 6pm!
You can RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/apache-aurora-meet-up-tickets-15618171371 At this meet up, we'll kick off the talks with Steve Niemitz who is in town from NYC and will tell us about how TellApart is using Aurora and Docker to migrate to a microservice architecture. Steve contributed the patch to add Docker support to the Aurora 0.7.0 release. Afterwards, Aurora and Mesos SRE Joe Smith will describe the setup and operation of Twitter's clusters, and reveal best practices for keeping your cluster running smoothly. We'll wrap up with a panel discussion of several Aurora adopters, covering how they're using Aurora and got up and running, and they'll also take audience questions. Also, a quick reminder about Mesos User Groups in general: these are open to enthusiasts who'd like to host or speak about Mesos and its ecosystem. If that's you, please speak up! There's a list of organizers listed for each group (for example: listed on http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Mesos-User-Group/); you can contact us via meetup.com and we'll do our best to schedule something! Meetups are a great opportunity to share with the community what you're doing as well as get feedback from your peers. I hope to see more events in the Bay Area and beyond, including thematically organized events like the one above. Pitch us your ideas and let's make them a reality. Hope you can make it to our meet up on the 19th! Cheers, Dave Links: 1. http://aurora.incubator.apache.org
