## What it is
Apache Mesos is a cluster manager that provides efficient resource isolation and sharing across distributed applications and frameworks. It abstracts CPU, memory, and storage resources from a pool of machines so frameworks like Hadoop, Spark, Jenkins, and Aurora can run on a dynamically shared cluster.

## Use cases
- run Spark and Hadoop on a shared cluster of nodes
- share datacenter resources across multiple distributed frameworks
- schedule and isolate workloads across a large pool of machines
- build custom distributed frameworks on top of a resource manager
- consolidate batch and service workloads on one cluster

## When to choose
- you need fine-grained resource sharing across heterogeneous frameworks on a large cluster
- you run legacy Mesos-based frameworks like Aurora or Marathon
- you want a battle-tested Apache-licensed cluster resource manager

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - Kubernetes is the modern standard for container orchestration
- you only need simple container scheduling on a small cluster
- you need a large active community and ecosystem around your orchestrator
