"Google does much the same thing inside its own operation, with a tool called Borg. And at Twitter, engineers use a similar, open source creation called Mesos. “We can run services inside a container, and then we can move the services across multiple machines, replicate them across multiple machines, and not worry about the interactions between containers,” says Raffi Krikorian, a vice president of engineering at Twitter.
But Borg and Mesos are incredibly complex systems, built and maintained by some of the planet’s brightest computer science minds. Hykes wants to give any company the tools it needed to setup and run the same type of operation — even if the company lacks the engineering savvy of a Google or a Twitter."
