Mesos Puppet Module

COMPATIBILITY NOTE: current version (0.6.x) requires puppetlabs-apt >= 2.1.0 which has significantly refactored API (doesn't matter if you don't wanna use Mesosphere APT repo).

For installing master

class{'mesos::master':
  zookeeper  => 'zk://192.168.1.1:2181,192.168.1.2:2181,192.168.1.3:2181/mesos',
  work_dir => '/var/lib/mesos',
  options => {
    quorum   => 2
  }
}

example slave configuration:

class{'mesos::slave':
  zookeeper  => 'zk://192.168.1.1:2181,192.168.1.2:2181,192.168.1.3:2181/mesos',
  listen_address => $::ipaddress,
  attributes => {
    'env' => 'production',
  },
  resources => {
    'ports' => '[2000-65535]'
  }
}

for using Hiera and other options see below.

Shared parameters

Parameters:

• zookeeper - ZooKeeper URL which is used for slaves connecting to the master and also for leader election, e.g.:
  • single ZooKeeper: zk://127.0.0.1:2181/mesos (which isn't fault tolerant)
    • multiple ZooKeepers: zk://192.168.1.1:2181,192.168.1.2:2181,192.168.1.3:2181/mesos (usually 3 or 5 ZooKeepers should be enough)
    • ZooKeeper URL will be stored in /etc/mesos/zk, /etc/default/mesos-master and/or /etc/default/mesos-slave
• conf_dir - directory with simple configuration files containing master/slave parameters (name of the file is a key, contents its value) - this directory will be completely managed by Puppet
• env_var - shared master/slave execution environment variables (see example under slave)
• version - install specific version of Mesos
• manage_python - Control whether mesos module should install python
• manage_zk_file - Control whether module manages /etc/mesos/zk (default: true)
• manage_service - Whether Puppet should ensure service state (applies to mesos-master and mesos-slave) (default: true)

Master

Should be as simple as this, on master node:

class{'mesos::master': }

optionally you can specify some parameters or it is possible to configure Mesos via Hiera (see below).

class{'mesos::master':
  master_port => 5050,
  work_dir => '/var/lib/mesos',
  options => {
    quorum   => 4
  }
}

For slave you have to specify either master

class{'mesos::slave':
  master => '192.168.1.1'
}

or zookeeper node(s) to connect:

class{'mesos::slave':
  zookeeper => 'zk://192.168.1.1:2181,192.168.1.2:2181,192.168.1.3:2181/mesos'
}

• conf_dir default value is /etc/mesos-master (this directory will be purged by Puppet!)
  • for list of supported options see mesos-master --help
• env_var - master's execution environment variables (see example under slave)

listen address

If you want to change the IP address Mesos is binding to, you can either provide a Puppet Fact:

class{'mesos::master':
  listen_address => $::ipaddress_eth0
}

or directly use some IP address:

class{'mesos::master':
  listen_address => '192.168.1.1'
}

By default no IP address is set, which means that Mesos will use IP to which translates hostname -f (you can influence bind address simply in /etc/hosts).

Slave

• enable - install Mesos slave service (default: true)
• port - slave's port for incoming connections (default: 5051)
• master- ip address of Mesos master (default: localhost)
• master_port - Mesos master's port (default: 5050)
• work_dir - directory for storing task's temporary files (default: /tmp/mesos)
• env_var - slave's execution environment variables - a Hash, if you are using Java, you might need e.g.:

class{'mesos::slave':
  master  => '192.168.1.1',
  env_var => {
    'JAVA_HOME' => '/usr/bin/java'
  }
}

in a similar manner you can specify cgroups isolation:

class{'mesos::slave':
  zookeeper  => 'zk://192.168.1.1:2181/mesos',
  isolation  => 'cgroups/cpu,cgroups/mem',
  cgroups    => {
    'hierarchy' => '/sys/fs/cgroup',
    'root'      => 'mesos',
  }
}

• conf_dir default value is /etc/mesos-slave (this directory will be purged by Puppet!) - for list of supported options see mesos-slave --help

File based configuration

As Mesos configuration flags changes with each version we don't provide directly a named parameter for each flag. mesos::property allows to create a parameter file or remove the file when value is left empty. e.g. configure value in /etc/mesos/hostname:

::mesos::property { 'hostname':
  value => 'mesos.hostname.com',
  dir   => '/etc/mesos'
}

Remove this file simply set value to undef:

::mesos::property { 'hostname':
  value => undef,
  dir   => '/etc/mesos'
}

This is equivalent approach to

class{'mesos::slave':
  options => {
    'hostname' => 'mesos.hostname.com'
  }
}

which will create a file /etc/mesos-slave/hostname with content mesos.hostname.com (where /etc/mesos-slave is a slave's $conf_dir).

Yet another option would be to pass this value via Hiera (see the section below).

Boolean flags

Current Mesos packages recognizes boolean flags like --[no-]quiet via files named as /etc/mesos-slave/?quiet for --quiet (true) and /etc/mesos-slave/?no-quiet for false value.

class{'mesos::slave':
  options => {
    'quiet' => true
  }
}

since 0.4.1

Hiera support

All configuration could be handled by hiera.

Either specify one master

mesos::master      : '192.168.1.1'

or Zookeeper could be use for a fault-tolerant setup (multiple instances of zookeeper are separated by comma):

mesos::zookeeper   : 'zk://192.168.1.1:2181/mesos'

Some parameters are shared between master and slave nodes:

mesos::master_port : 5050
mesos::log_dir     : '/var/log/mesos'
mesos::conf_dir    : '/etc/mesos'
mesos::owner       : 'mesos'
mesos::group       : 'mesos'

Other are master specific:

mesos::master::cluster     : 'my_mesos_cluster'
mesos::master::whitelist   : '*'

or slave specific:

mesos:slave::env_var:
  JAVA_HOME: '/usr/bin/java'

Mesos service reads configuration either from ENV variables or from configuration files wich are stored in /etc/mesos-slave resp. /etc/mesos-master. Hash passed via options will be converted to config files. Most of the options is possible to configure this way:

mesos::master::options:
  webui_dir: '/usr/local/share/mesos/webui'
  quorum: '4'

you can also use facts from Puppet:

mesos::master::options:
  hostname: "%{::fqdn}"

cgroups with Hiera:

mesos::slave::isolation: 'cgroups/cpu,cgroups/mem'
mesos::slave::cgroups:
  hierarchy: '/sys/fs/cgroup'

Limit resources used by Mesos slave:

mesos::slave::resources:
  cpus: '10'

Python installation

Python is required for Mesos Web UI and for CLI as well. Installing Python with Mesos should be responsibility of binary packages (Mesos could be build without UI), therefore this behaviour is not enabled by default.

You can enable this feature with following:

class{'mesos':
  manage_python => true
}

or change Python package name, to match your needs:

class{'mesos':
  manage_python => true,
  python_package => 'python-dev'
}

Software repository

Software repositories could be enabled by defining a source:

mesos::repo: 'mesosphere'

or in Puppet code:

class{'mesos':
  repo => 'mesosphere'
}

by default this feature is disabled and right we support mesosphere.io repositories for:

• Debian/Ubuntu
• RedHat

Feel free to send PR for other distributions/package sources.

Overriding service providers

Some Mesos packages does not respect conventions on given OS for starting services. For both mesos::master and mesos::slave you can specify mechanism which will be used for starting services.

class{'mesos::master':
  force_provider => 'upstart'
}

If you want to create the service resource yourself, set force_provider to none.

Some reasonable values are:

• init
• upstart - e.g. Ubuntu
• systemd
• runit
• none - service won't be installed

Packages

You can build package by yourself and upload package to your software repository. Or use packages from mesosphere.io:

• Debian/Ubuntu
  • mesos deb packaging
  • mesosphere packages
• RedHat/CentOS
  • mesosphere packages

Requirements

• Puppet > 3.0 and < 5.0

Dependencies

• stdlib version >= 4.2.0 - we need function is_bool
• apt version >= 2.1.0 is required for Debian servers (since puppet-mesos 0.6)

Installation

Preferred installation is via puppet-librarian just add to Puppetfile:

mod 'deric/mesos', '>= 0.6.0'

for latest version from git:

mod 'deric/mesos', :git => 'git://github.com/deric/puppet-mesos.git'
