## What it is
Mantl is a batteries-included platform for rapidly deploying globally distributed services, bundling Mesos, Marathon, Kubernetes, Consul, Vault, Docker, and Terraform-based provisioning across cloud providers. It was originally developed by Cisco Cloud but has not seen a release since 2019.

## Use cases
- deploy a container orchestration cluster on multiple cloud providers
- set up Mesos and Marathon with service discovery and secrets management
- provision a distributed microservices platform with Terraform
- run Kubernetes and Docker with centralized logging and storage
- build a self-hosted platform for long-running containerized services

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Mantl deployment and need reference material
- you want a historical example of integrating Mesos, Consul, and Vault into one platform

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained orchestration platform - the project has been abandoned since 2019
- you want modern Kubernetes tooling - use kops, kubespray, or a managed service instead
- you need current cloud provider support or security updates

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
